[Elecraft] Self-fusing liquid electrical tape

[Bob McGraw K4TAX]

I agree with Jim, K9YC on this.  Grounding is for lightning 
protection.   To be effective, it should be outside of the 
structure/house and be very low resistance.   And all driven grounds 
must be bonded back to the AC Mains ground.  This is per NEC.  Your 
equipment, your house, and your life may depend on it being done correctly.

Yes, the Cad-Weld fireworks are indeed impressive.   And when finished 
one has a connection that will survive reliably underground for years 
and years.   Where as a mechanical connection is only good for a few 
years and less if buried. Something about dissimilar metal chemical 
reaction.
