Based on recommendations here on the Asylum. But after I got it home, my concern is the caution on the package: "Not recommended for use on polystyrene, polyethylene, polypropylene, Styrofoam™, or paper products."
I often use polystyrene and polypropylene caps, and I'm not willing to risk a bad reaction between Goop and expensive caps.
Just an F.Y.I.

I can assure from the years of using goop more than probably most anyone I have never had any issues with it and neither did Terry Dewick who does many, many ,many,amps and preamps.
I did these five years ago and there are some very some expensive analytic polys and there is no sign is any corrosion whatsoever. The soft body poly couplers I have used it on as well and I haven't had any issues yet.

I have no doubts that you haven't, Mike. But it's the "yet" which concerns me. The Amazing Goop people put that warning on the package for a reason. I wouldn't want to find out what that reason was on a $250 V-Cap which turned to goo because of a chemical reaction.
I'll use Goop for electrolytics, the metal bodied Russian mica, oil, and Teflons, etc. and stick to electronics grade silicone adhesive for the plastic caps.
No matter what you buy from aspirin to a bottle of pop to a tube of toothpaste,there are always warnings of some kind.The companies do this to cover all angles but I assure you that with all the expensive vintage gear I have,something would have shown up in seven years time..It peels off like a piece of rubber and it leaves absolutely no trace of anything.
