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.
