I hold all my toroid coils firm to the board AFTER all tuning is
complete with my Hot Glue system. It tacks down everything but not so
tight you can't get it loose. I do not find the hot glue to be corrosive.
I buy my hot-glue tubes and the gun at any good Hardware store.

I think too much is made of so-called corrosive RTV (it's the vinegar). The
level of corrosion to bare metal is very small and in free air stops fairly
quickly. For other components bathroom sealant is perfectly adequate.
Enamelled copper wire and toroids should be immune anyway.

I'll come out of the closet and admit that I, too, used the expensive
non-corrosive RTV to hold down the cores in my new K2. I did it because
- I'm willing to accept the (warranty-breaking) consequences of doing so,
- It's standard practice with spacecraft assemblies, which are held to a
higher standard than ham radio kits, and
- I had access to some :)
PLEASE note that I have no intention of starting a religious war about
construction practices. Elecraft's warranty policy is concrete and
perfectly understandable, and I have no quarrel with it. My comment here
is made only to reassure the nonconformists among us. :)
