I understand and I was not asking about attaching the toroids to the  
board. That would make it virtually impossible to replace a toroid  
without destroying the board, definitely a "bad thing".

What I was asking about was using epoxy to secure the windings on the  
core(s) when the toroid is complete but before attaching the toroid  
to the board.
