Could this be the best thing since sliced bread for waterproofing our ESC's?

Comments please.

Believe it or not, I just ordered something similar a couple of hours ago... I was looking for the polyurethane one, but apparently the price is quite high and the applicators are in small size only... so I ordered this one:

After ordering what was suggested, I've seen this one...

But you are right, it seems like a logical solution for ESCs. I have a Turnigy Monster 2000 to waterproof/watercool, so this is perfect!!

Interesting how they package epoxy in bags over there in the UK! You would never find that in the U.S. I don't think.

Yup. This is how they usually package special compounds, to be mixed in the field. I generally use an optically clear epoxy for fiber optic terminations and it comes in 10g bags.
Very easy to handle, no applicator needed, just pinch the bag or squeeze it into a syringe.

We have it, Doug. This is what we use where I've worked.

"Single serving epoxy pouches" we called them.
