Liquid Metal latop leaking prevention

Hardware Hub Cooling

I applied Liquid Metal to a laptop. The laptop is running great and after moving it around a few times, I checked the liquid metal. The liquid metal didn’t move around at all.

But i still don’t have any material used to prevent leakage.

Typically the PS5 and liquid metal laptops have some kind of leak prevention method.

The PS5 for example has a black sponge around the die.

Does anyone know of a product or products that can be used for leak prevention?

Some type of thin sponge and perhaps a special type of glue to connect it to the captain tape I already have installed.

Needs to be thin enough to not obstruct the die and heatsink from making contact.

You will likely have to break out a crafting knife and carve a fitting gasket yourself.
Alternatively you can coat the immediate vicinity of the liquid metal with PCB lacquer (or other conformal coatings like this).

I’ve applied silicone conformal coating around the cpu/gpu, but not on the motherboard.

What material would I use for a fitting gasket?
