Liquid electrical insulation tape

[ltcom]

Expensive stuff. But I like it. I was using it to seal a rubber diaphragm on a compass. When my tin became thick years back I tried alot of solvents but did not find one that worked. Today i found by accident that simple white spirit thins it and makes tin reusable again. Winner. So that is how to freshen ypur tin up if you have one. Don't buy it from here, I imagine there must be cheaper places. I always keep my tin bagged but the solvent still manages to leach off.

That is a much more sensible price
Liquid Electrical Tape

Top tip, keep in Ziploc bag. I have it in two bags. After use tip can upside down (with lid screwed shut) just as people do with paint. Any air leak and liquid should form a seal at top lip and keep main contents liquid. You probably knew that. Now all I need to do is figure how to stop my Duralec going off. Why is it the expensive stuff that goes off?

Yes. Good stuff too. 3 to 1 reduction ratio is better than 2 to 1 imo. Liquid can reach awkward places. It can also seal up an old compass ?
