Fw: [Elecraft] Staking Toroids on K2 - Trivia

[Ken Kopp]

RTV stands for "Room Temperature Vuclanizing" ...

It "dries" by absorbing moisture.  If you want to speed
is curing process place a wet rag or paper towell over the
stuff.

The acetic acid smelling stuff is corrosive.  The stuff that
smells like back-rub isn't.

I have four solar panels (12A) attached to the (metal) roof 
of our RV with RTV.  The roof would tear before the RTV
would release.

NAPA sells a particularily strong version as gasket material.
It's blue ... and is the corrisive type.  That's OK -IF- your
job's area can outgas (cure) to air.  Don't use it in an enclosed 
area.
