Nope, that's not what I meant by potting. Using the EWDS as an example, the electronics bundle is placed in a plastic enclosure open on one side and filled with a catalyzed resin to secure the components from vibration, atmospheric conditions and moisture. The finished EWDS module resembles a small black brick but there is plenty going on inside. Encapsulated or
potted as described I'm confident the EWDS module would pass an ignition proof test (propane environment).
Had Tom's circuit board (I assume a prototype of some sort) been potted I expect it could have been submerged without ill effect.
