Potting electronics? Esc and receiver

I'm waiting for my two motors to arrive but in the long meantime I've been figuring how to hold everything to he board and gluing it all down into recesses sounds ideal. I've read some people will waterproof their esc using a high heat and non conductive epoxy but I can't find a pic. How would sinking/potting the whole esc other than the hestsink end up? The capacitors on the side look like they were glued to each other but the glue has separated and they kind of rattle a bit so for them I imagine it would help.
Cut recesses in board, two layers of carbon, glue down the esc and receiver, Velcro or duct tape the batteries down..
 
Glued down Velcro?
I remember u told me about the hk Velcro last time I asked this question but I'm really wanting to find anyone who's used high heat electronics potting stuff No one pots their esc or receiver or wires? I haven't read specifically about doing it with an esc or receiver and am worried about vibrations or if the high heat stuff is good enough to use right between the board and exposed silicon and its circuitry. In Jacobs hub motor videos it looks like his batteries are glued to his board.

This seems the best bet so far but I don't understand its dialectric and resistance numbers. Be a shame to find out I was wrong and I short the esc or it melts. If it works and u can sink your esc in this and glue it to the board with the same stuff that's be damn easy
