I went to the glue the label back on my Zenith Chromacolor's 25VBQP22, and I remembered that I was supposed to get all the goo off the 2nd anode, but I kept forgetting to ask how. So what works best?

So what works best? MRX37 05-18-2016, 04:48 PM Goo Gone? WD-40? N2IXK 05-18-2016, 05:17 PM Acetone or a hydrocarbon solvent like "Goof Off" or lighter fluid should work. The "goo" is silicone grease, most likely... TUD1 05-18-2016, 05:29 PM I'll try the Goo Gone first - I've had good luck with that stuff. If that doesn't work, I'll try Goof Off. MIPS 05-18-2016, 06:01 PM Acetone and a rag should work. Make sure to test the rag first or you'll dissolve the rag as well. andy 05-18-2016, 06:11 PM ... Eric H 05-18-2016, 06:17 PM Lighter fluid should work well, just be sure the tube is discharged, sparks and a rag full of lighter fluid is not a good combination. N2IXK 05-18-2016, 07:33 PM You will want to avoid getting the solvent onto the external dag coating, as well. It will easily dissolve, and potentially leave conductive residue on the bare area around the anode button. TUD1 05-18-2016, 07:59 PM Thanks for the information. That would be pretty critical. zeno 05-19-2016, 10:05 AM We always used 91% isopropyl alky & paper towels. 73 Zeno:smoke: TUD1 05-19-2016, 06:04 PM I used the alcohol and the goo just dissolved away. I highly recommend this method. |
