Silicones

[Doby]

Everyone;

Time to save some $$$$

If you go to Dow Corning's web site, they offer free samples of many of their products.

I use #3145 RTV (clear) to seal many of my LiPos as well as other uses. Its actually a silicone adhesive that REALLY adheres to anything, much more so than generic silicones from home improvement centers.

The samples are 90 Ml (3 Fl Oz), about the size of a tube of toothpaste, and would normally cost $30.00 each

You can request up to 3 samples.

Enjoy

Doby quiet please, have been using this for some time for my silicone and heat sink paste. Now if everybody does it they will stop it...........................

Be careful most silicones give off acetic acid that can corrode connections. They do make neutral cure silicones for electrical use.
