[Elecraft] Staking Toroids on K2

All,
My K2, serial no. 05625 is complete and has been on the air for three
weeks today, but I'm still in the process of adding accessories. I've
mostly run it on 80 and 40 m with excellent results. 

One question I have for the group- Has anyone found a need for
protecting the vertically mounted toroid inductors from mechanical shock
events during portable operations? If so, what staking material is
recommended? I am concerned about degrading exposed conductors with
anything I might use for an adhesive. I think the GE Silicone II
adhesive I have on hand is used for preventing corona or ionization
around high voltage terminals so maybe it would be a good candidate?
