I've heard that, that this is the case with
whatever the goop is that
Japanese mfrs. use for stuff like holding down large capacitors, etc. And
that it starts out as a light brown in color, turning very dark as it ages.
The stuff I was referring to is off-white (milky-looking) and quite hard when
it's set, which makes it interesting to remove components.

Yes it is the stuff. Seems this particular glue found in low
quality stuff.
Fresh stuff is very TOUGH to cut through and hard to rip apart,
baked, crispy-black & conductive.
