[Elecraft] 'Ruggedizing' K2?

[Don Wilhelm]

Craig,

I built a K2 that was used for many years in the cab of an 18 wheeler.  
No special treatment of the toroids was applied and it worked FB over 
those years.  I (and Elecraft) recommend that no fixatives be applied.

73,

I can always soften the glue with a heat gun and peel it off later as needed.  Other than a padded hard case and maybe big caps over front and back panels, what has already been tried?
