Yup i just fill it with eraser. Also be careful when tightening that pot up. Take a good look at the goldfingers and make sure you didn't warp it. It's easy to flex the card with that big gap. Some spacers might even have been a good idea.

1. Insulate the pot
2. eraser the front of the card
3. mount the pot
4. fill in all the gaps around the pot
5. flip it over on the pot side and eraser the back of the card. Do Not lift the card by grabbing the card with thee pot on it, always flip the card or move the card around by grabbing the pot not the card. The pot is really heavy and i can see aot of stress occurring there.
6. insulate the back of the card
7. insulate the front
8. i wrap it up with shop towels and tape them tight. They absorb a hugh amount of moisture.
9. i cut a slit in a shop towel flded in half and slide the goldfingers through it and then insert it in my prepped motherboard slot.
