MEK will rot your liver in short order without good ventilation.

I like a fine drizzle of hot-melt glue, followed by judicious use of a hot air resolder nozzle to melt and spread the glue. Look for the glue gun nozzles used to add binding tape to the edge of carpet:

I am building up my own external BPF's for 80/40/20. I need to coat the windings to hold them in place. Can I use a spray clear coat? Will it affect the inductance?
