Started building my first Express this week and ran into a snag. Poor thing has just been sitting there since last tuesday.
Can anyone possibly make a short video showing how much HS compound to use and how yu apply it? My first HS. Don't want to waste it. RS only had 2 tubes. (wow are they small) at 3 bucks each. I have 6 boards to make and think I'll probably run out. Additionally, It is such a tight fit, how do you apply HS compound to vertical headers and push Volt reg. and other into header without compressing all the compound out and defeating the purpose and or damaging the part trying to push it in. Anyone have any good suggestions.
Last question,... (I have all V3 PCBs) when installing the HS, it looks like the HS will be close to if not touching all the resistors and making them all same potential. Am I the only one who noticed? Don,t want to short anything out. Anyone have to bend triac legs to make more room? Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Leon
