+**REMEMBER TO TURN THE WATER BATH OFF ONCE YOU HAVE FINISHED WITH IT !
+To avoid air gaps under the PCB and around the wiring, the sender must be at a slight angle – a cotton bud under one side is enough.
 The compound can then be slowly poured into the lower side, as this allows the potting to fill up level with the board and prevents air pockets.
 Once all air has been removed under the board, you should see a ring of potting all around the outside of the PCB.
