Some advertise as much as 2 W/mK of thermal conductivity. Free air is no more than 0.03 W/mK at usual temperatures. Air convection I think will be the same in both the potted and unpotted cases. Does that mean that potting with such epoxy helps with heat dissipation, and the thicker the epoxy is the cooler the device will run  ?

Highly thermo-conductive epoxies for potting
