Butyl Rubber is Awesome Iām surprised there arenāt more people out there using it. I never would have though of using it for vibration dampening and adhesive! Iāve only used it for waterproofing enclosures

Velcro! From the one and only brand āVelcroā, also comes as heavy duty or industrial version. You could even use that to mount your enclosure to your board.
Hadnāt thought of this. Next builds getting this
I usually attach stuff with this velcro from hobbyking. Itās cheap and super strong on booth glue side and velcro side.
A neutral cure silicone
In the US, itās the only part of an esk8 I source locally and not from the internet.
Go skate to a big box home improvement store, like Home Depot or Loweās or Menards. Go into the paint section. Find a product called āGE Silicone 2*+ā. It comes in a small 2.8 fl. oz. tube, for hand-squeezing, and a bigger one designed to fit on a caulk dispenser. Do not buy ā edit: this is wrong, that is the new version of Silicone 2*+GE Silicone 2*ā because itās the wrong stuff. It must have the plus at the end.
Then leave that store. Donāt get any other esk8 parts there. They all suck, and they donāt have any metric stuff.
It does come in white and clear, I prefer clear but both work the same. Clear is easier to use. For example if you need to work on something and are cutting it out, you donāt want the opaque one because you canāt see what youāre cutting into.

You can source it online as well, but if I can get it locally without the delay, I usually prefer that option. Plus it comes with a nice skate to the store

I have some GE 2* silicone, it is advertised as neutral cure on their web site. So why is it the wrong stuff? Iād rather use the stuff I already have and I am not planning on using it on sensitive components. Thanks 
The + is no longer the current model is what I found this week. 2* says itās the same formula as 2*+. YMMV

Where did you find that information?
What does 2* smell like?
If it smells like vinegar or pickle juice, itās the wrong stuff.

Has a smell but would not call it vinegar. Definitely not offensive.

Doesnāt smell bad compared to other silicones Iāve worked with. And when you say wrong stuff, even if labeled as neutral cure it could be an issue?
If itās neutral cure, itās fine.
I guess they just changed it up and made a confusing setup even more confusing. Or less confusing? As long as it says neutral cure on the packaging, then Iād say the confusion level is going down.
