I think the main thing I was going to point out was, do try to remove the boards from the plastic housings. A lot of these appliance type things are pretty easy to push on the plastic tabs and slide the board out. That and removing large heatsinks, as suggested, is usually beneficial.
I'll also note the amount of sealant can vary and may affect the grade more or less but the generally it will have an impact.
yeah remove the plastic if you can.
