Comparison with potting[edit]

Both this article and the one on potting say that it is normal to use conformal coating rather than potting, but no reasons are given. I assume that there are still circumstances where potting would be preferred. It would be nice if someone could add a section on the comparative advantages and disadvantages of conformal coating vs. potting. It's not a subject I know about, but it would be a useful addition to the article if there is someone who could do it.. 86.16.3.237 (talk) 18:43, 16 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Critique on sources used[edit]

This article cites almost entirely from the website of two organizations: electrolube.com and conformalcoating.co.uk. More independent and scientific review papers are welcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.215.11.62 (talk) 20:31, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
