Hello All, 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.

void _-void-_ in the obvious place
Get Dow/Corning 111. That is basically spark plug boot grease. It a sealant that never hardens, high dielectric strength and will not attack metals or plastics.
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'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, James Arthur
I never really thought about it. I am guessing that is the default in Agent
Agent default is X-NO-ARCHIVE un-checked and don't respect the request in follow-ups.
