Alan Clogwyn Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just thought I'd bring your attention to a product I've just tried http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/310339493750?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649. It's a liquid Electrical tape, very useful for repairs to cracked wiring etc, can't believe I've never found it before! I actually came across it as a method for repairing camera shutter curtains (After I put 2 holes in my very expensive and just serviced Pentax LX!) and I can confirm it works a treat for that too!

Angus Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Wow - what an excellent thing. Looks like a front-line product to sit with cable ties and gaffa tape on the shelf ... Good spot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver gt Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Frost do the same product for a bit less. http://www.frost.co.uk/automotive-electrical-tools/electrical-wiring/plasti-dip-brush-on-liquid-electrical-tape.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazz54 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Is this anything than more spray on varnish? Varnish has been used as an insulator/corrosion protector for decades, especially stuff like military radios for use in tropical locations.

silver gt Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 It's not spray on lacquer, it's brush on rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be OK for the odd flood. No idea how it works on >1/1000 second camera shutters. Don't be suprised by anything, there is a wealth of knowledge on this site and not just polishing!!
