silicon for sealing connectors
Andrey
Question: can I use silicon for sealing connectors with exposed conductors?
If so, which spicific silicon I should use?
(I tried some generic tube from home depot and surface of the solder joints
got all gray in few days. Then I read on the tube it contains acid.)
Thank you,
Andre

** Any one that is labelled as " Non Acid ", " Neutral Cure " or as being
suitable for use with metals.
Typically intended as a roof and gutter sealant or for automotive repairs.

** Smells strongly of acetic acid - right ??
Must be avoided.

It is not self leveling so it can be somewhat messy. Excellent adhesion.

Most anything called sensor safe sold in auto parts stores should be OK.

Gawd, I hate X-No-Archive.
If there's anything more selfish, I haven't seen it.

Pompous assholes afraid of leaving a "paper" trail ?:-)
Agent provides for ignoring "X-No-Archive" in follow-ups, so it's easy
to negate such asshole actions ;-)

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

I'm mixed on using it myself.
PLUSES: It might improve s/n -- it's getting harder and harder to
find things. Saves us from, at some future time--when we're older and
wiser--regretting dumb stuff we might have said in our youth ;-).
NEGATIVES: When posting real, technical info, deprives future
searchers of the data, thwarting one of the mind-amplifying benefits of
this new medium.
All-in-all, if gfretwell wants to take part in today's conversation
but doesn't want it recorded for all eternity, I figure he has that
right, and I've none to complain.
Best,

Agent default is X-NO-ARCHIVE un-checked and don't respect the request
in follow-ups.
