I have a design that requires the PCBA to be potted. However I have a shrouded header on the board that I need access to. Is there a way to cover this header during the potting process and then removed the cover after the potting material has cured

I did some potting encapsulation as you mention for a customer. They supplied a two-part material custom designed. If you go this route, there are likey to be no board repair options. The epoxy cured hard as a rock. Too much damage to access devices
