[Elecraft] [K2]...Hot glue toroids to PCB???

[Lee Buller]

Do not do this.  I use "bees wax" to secure one of my toroids down because I felt it needed it.  Well, it is a mess to work with.  I abandoned the practice and just used the wires to hold them in place.

In our day and age it seems that Common Sense is in short supply.  If you don't have any Common Sense - get some Common Sense and use it.  If you can't find any Common Sense, ask for help from somebody who has some Common Sense.  Is Common Sense divine?

Building my K2. Does anyone see any issues with using hot glue to glue 
the toroids down to the boards? I've never had issues gluing toroids 
down in my 600 meter projects. Inductance values have never changed from 
no glue to glued down. But with the K2, it just doesn't seem right to 
leave the toroids loose without gluing them to the boards. So what do 
you guys think, glue or no glue?

Many thanks,
Mike
