Whats the white glue for electronic parts call?

[ptt81]

Im looking for that to held down a couple of caps on my modded MM that I did today, im using hobby epoxy temporary but im looking to get some of the white/black glue stuff that they use to held capacitors, resistors, etc. down, not sure what they are call, any help?

I think it is called thermal epoxy. You can find it at Radio Shack. It is white and the tube is v/ small.

I think he means the semi-flexible stuff that helps hold the components in, not thermal adhesive/compound. And if so, I don't know. You could probably use a little shoe-goo. It's firm but not hard or soft. And it should take some heat, but don't know how much...

I've waited almost 1 1/2 weeks to get to post in here...but im glad i did, glad to be here. I did the mod base off someone from this forum I forgot who it was. Yes it is the white stuff, semi-flexible as Brian said, such as inside a PC power supply, xbox power supply, so on and so on but I don't know what it is or where to get them. I got some shoe-goo, but im worry that it won't take the heat and fall apart, the caps goes to around 135-140F. I install some bigger caps on my MM replacing the 3 original ones and i made it stick out to the side but im afraid they will break off on a hard run or something, i need to hold them down as hard as i possibly can. Any other suggestions?

silicone? its rubbery but as pointed out, im not sure if it would melt, and it may insulate the heat! but u can get thermal paste (which never sets) and you could add epoxy over the top to seal it in?
