What type of adhesive is used to keep large caps in place on PCB's? That rubbery gray stuff.
 
@benime thanks. I didn't know what the stuff was called so I didn't really know how to look for it.

Just wanted to put some of those big caps in place properly.
 
i wouldnt bother - it's only for shipping.

or use UHU.

I've read a fair few posts about reducing whine by using adhesive on the filter caps and flyback to reduce vibration.

Can't hurt to try, it was on there originally.
 
large capacitors use 10mm snap-in pins and wont break loose even if you forget to solder them!

company's like to throw all kinds of crap on pcb's - specially psu's
i often have to remove it before it corrodes parts - the worst turns dark brown and acidic!!!
