Guys,

First off, thanks to all who have been helping me out. I actually did my first cap kit today. I was replacing caps on a Crystal Castles audio/power board. I got down to two big capacitors and they have an orange sticky/glue underneath them. Was this there to hold them in place?

Basically hot glue or some other kind of elastic adhesive. Hot glue will be fine. just clean the old crap off with rubbing alcohol and put some hot glue down. It is a good idea to glue the capacitors down so they don't break off when you move the game around.
