Ideally, something sold in small cans... (or, something with a very long shelf life!)

Re: Best "dip" product?
Are you going to use this type product with electrical hand tools do not know what kind of electrical installation quality this product has but I have thought of this before using this product for this purpose myself
But the question I have posed is the reason I have not used it for that purpose
But I will keep looking at this post for information and ideas on this subject9 PC LCD Monitor
6 LCD Flat Screen TV
30 Desk Top Switching Power Supply
10 Battery Charger Switching Power Supply for Power Tool
6 18v Lithium Battery Power Boards for Tool Battery Packs
1 XBox 360 Switching Power Supply and M Board
25 Servo Drives 220/460 3 Phase
6 De-soldering Station Switching Power Supply 1 Power Supply
1 Dell Mother Board
15 Computer Power Supply
1 HP Printer Supply & Control Board * lighting finished it *
These two repairs where found with a ESR meter...> Temp at 50*F then at 90*F the ESR reading more than 10%
1 Over Head Crane Current Sensing Board ( VFD Failure Five Years Later )
2 Hem Saw Computer Stack Board
All of these had
CAPs POOF
All of the mosfet that are taken out by bad capsComment

Re: Best "dip" product?
I don't rely on those cheap/thin rubber/plastic "handles" for electrical insulation for contacting live circuits at potentials that can possibly kill. I use tools intended for that purpose in those situations.Originally posted by sam_sam_sam View Post
[Though I have many licensed electrician colleagues who are comfortable with Plasti-dip. <shudder> I'd be forever worrying about a crack developing in the coating and flesh pressing through it to contact the underlying metal tool]
"Dip" is used simply to provide a more friendly grip on the tool (most machined/cast metal tools have very crude handles -- peel off the coatings on yours to see just how crude/uncomfortable). Trying to find replacement handles is a fools errand... (you can try slipping rubber hose of an appropriate I.D. over the handles but this gets really clumsy looking/feeling).
You can buy rubberized coatings that are designed for their electrical insulation properties (e.g., "Liquid Tape" is good for 1400V/mil). But, they aren't intended in applications that will see "mechanical abuse" (like the handles of a tool!)Last edited by Curious.George; 01-01-2020, 10:23 AM.Comment
