Decent manufacturers got rid of it years ago, some by their own (Seasonic), some because it was killing them too (Enermax, who now manufactures in CWT fab; newer actually met CWT unit with this shit).

Another update
Some of the parts has already arrived but while the Viper gets here. I have thoughts about the epoxy. I have loctite heavy duty epoxy but it does not work because it holds up 120 degrees Fahrenheit and not 94v - 0.
Looking at possible alternatives I found on Loctite has a hysol epoxy but it does not come in syringes it only comes in bulk. Master Bond also has epoxy for various uses but being unable to find who sells them and it does come in syringes, and the pigmentation is in dark colors not in off-White like the board.
Why do you guys suggest as an alternative epoxy or if I'm okay by using the one that I already have. I don't want it to catch on fire if there is anything wrong later on.

Nice work cleaning that board

I have had to this type of cleaning on boards when the caps leak and fail
on servo board that I have repaired

I have clean them with flux remover and a dermal tool with a drill bit and use it like sand paper

I have not had use epoxy on the boards that I have repaired but on your board it like it is very thin in one spot on that board

I have not had to deal with that but what I have to deal with is the traces pealing off the board what can you use when this happens

You can use superglue too, it is not conductive. Just vaporizes when you solder it, very bad for eyes so be carefull. Also the cheap stuff hardens like plastic and could crack as it is not very flexible.
