Your friendly local ACE hardware carries Permatex ULTRA BLACK PX 82180 RTV Silicone Gasket Maker - it is a non corrosive alcohol based cure.Not acetic acid.
DXE also sells the same stuff in same package. 73 Hank K7HP ----- Original Message ----- Trivia ... RTV stands for room temperature vulcanizing. It "dries" (cures) by absorbing moisture. To speed the "drying" in a dry environment, cover with a wet paper towel, cloth, etc. If it smells like acetic acid, it's corrosive. If it smells like BenGay (SP?) back rub it's not. Dow Corning 3140 is non corrosive. NAPA blue gasket compound is a very strong RTV, but is corrosive. The four large solar panels on our RV's roof are held on place with (only) RTV. 73 K0PP ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to pfizenma...@q.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
