Hi Tan
You ask if the risk is minimum - how will we know? You have a mix of
chemistry that will be exposed to variations of both temperature and
humidity whilst under electrical bias - ask yourself, will anyone die
if the end product fails or will I lose my job?
If you answer no to both of these, no problem. On the other hand, you
might want to ask a few more questions to get an acceptable answer.
