Fw: Re: [HomeBrew] Is Q dope still available?

I believe Ocean State Electronics  ? still has it available. I assume
you want to hold some turns in place, tack something together, etc.
Duco cement (hardware stores) works well and E-6000 silicon 
adhesive (hobby/craft stores) is great. I ran some tests to see what
the effect of adhesives were on coil "Q". There have been others
who have done exhaustive work on the short/long term effects of 
various adhesives. I would stay away from fingernail polish.

Look at http://makeashorterlink.com/?S56E21FE2

You can make your own Q Dope by dissolving plastic packing peanuts 
(polystyrene) in MEK (methyl ethyl ketone).  If necessary, inclusion of a

little toluene will slow the drying process.
