Default Holt melt glue as potting agent ?

I am experimenting with some aerial designs and wondered if anyone had used
/ knows whether
hot melt glue is good to seal and waterproof connections and its
electrical characteristics ?

(I will just go and stick some in the microwave with a glass of water and
see if it melts ! )

Thanks,

I built a solidstste amp one time using isolated pad construction. The pads
were held in placing using guess what, hot glue. Upon appying drive to the
amp a lot of the hot glue melted because it was acting as the dielectic of a
capacitor.
