Potting a Denon dl-103r

So I'm putting a wood body on my second Denon. When it comes to potting how much epoxy do you fill the cavity with? Just the front cavity or is it more like a tub up to some point?

Also, a "potted" cart has nothing to do with 'gluing" the body of the cart to the carrier.

Potting of cart bodies involves applying an electrically inert compound to the cart internals to minimize unwanted resonances of the internal components. http://daveyw.edsstuff.org/vinyl/Potting/
