Is Loctite epoxy safe near wires?

[dishwall99]

So I'm fixing an old guitar pedal and used some Loctite 5-minute epoxy to hold a loose jack. It stuck well, but now I'm not sure, does it carry electricity after it dries?
I kept it away from the circuit lines just to be safe. Has anyone used it near wires or parts before? Thanks!

Loctite 5-minute epoxy isn't conductive after it dries, making it safe to use around electrical parts. Just be sure it doesn't create any connections between electrical paths.

When it comes to fixing guitar pedals, avoiding epoxy around solder joints and active circuit paths is definitely a smart move. It’s often used for mechanical repairs in electronics and doesn’t create any electrical problems.

It's a non-conductive electrical insulator once it dries. All standard epoxies are used in electronics precisely because they won't short anything out. You're completely safe using it near wires or component bodies for structural support, but you should always keep it off actual solder joints and contact points!
