I have a couple of 300VA toroids in an audio power amp which generate
a fair bit of mechanical hum. Since their rating is very conservative
and they don't run too hot, I thought potting them might fix the hum.

Can anyone suggest a readily available, easy to use potting compound?
I've tried the obvious things like mounting them on foam of different 
types and surrounding them with sound deadening, but 50-100 Hz is pretty
long wave-length to try killing that way...
Thanks,
Graham B
