If epoxying directly to the FETs, you should use this stuff instead. The regular AS has traces of silver in a suspension and while it won't short out, it can introduce capacitance to the circuit and cause "weird stuff" to happen. The stuff in my link is totally electrically non-coductive and non-capacitive. Save the regular AS epoxy for metal to metal bonds.
