Yeah, I heard.
I used the acetic cure variety in my green pre, but it only contacts the plastic wrap of the toroid (but not the leads).
Oh and I used it to glue the tin sheet (PSU shield) to the case.

Thanks for that page though! Great referrence.

How do you countersink a hole in thin aluminum? The countersinks I've been looking at seem like they would rip right through the metal.

Thanks

I just use an ordinary wood countersink and go gently.
