Strange. Nichicons too..... I'm not even sure I could guess why....some thermal damage, obviously, but two at the same time from a small dab of hot glue.... interesting.
For me it's a usual practice. I don't flood them, just stabilize the assembly and insulate the soldering spots. Haven't seen anything like it so far. Though I mostly use Panasonic ones.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
