Silicone filter caps down

[Blooze]

I didn’t think about this when I built my Ga-18T clone, but would it be wise to put a silicone bead on one side of the three filter caps to anchor them to the turret board? I keep reading about people doing this. This thing will never be used outside of the house and very rarely moved.

No need to use gloop IMO. Looks messy and is more hassle if you have to change filter caps later. YMMV

Thanks. I just wasn’t sure since it’s a head like a Marshall and all the components hang.

If you want to make them more secure, I think zip ties mounted through the board (or mounted to zip-tie mounts) looks tidier and are easy to clip and replace. YMMV

Honestly, no need to secure those caps in your situation.   

Beauty of a build.

Thanks!   Here’s a couple pics of it.
