After reading the MSDS on the Permatex stuff, looks like I'll stick to RTV3145 in the future.
Cheers,

What did you see in the Permatex RTVs that concerned you? (trying to learn something here)

Second, one of the chemical components (listed as 5-15%) is SYNTHETIC ISOPARAFFINIC HYDROCARBON (spelling corrected from "Hydrocaron"" - kerosene for short. Kerosene will dissolve paraffin, the very wax in the flyback, and this might create a problem. Third, I've used RTV3145 (gray only) before on flybacks - countless TV flybacks and, while in the Navy, on high voltage transformers in several dozen in F/A-18 MPDs (multipurpose displays) without failure. In the MPD, corona would develop in high humidity (Indian Ocean ops), and we sealed the lead and connections with RTV. It kept the "Smoky odor in cockpit" gripes down. My only drawback with RTV3145 is the damn cost - now about 26-30 bucks a tube. Andy's suggestion to use GE Silicone II looks more promising in the economic sense. 100% elastomeric rubber, and commercially available (our hardware store sells it in three tube sizes!) Cheers,

You mean MPCD, unless the Legacy stuff was only one color- Supers have a color center display.

Your welcome! It's from National Geographic magazine. I tried to zoom in, to get the model names but the print is just a little bit too small to read.
the best I can make out is: A= Rupert B= ? C= Cabot D= ? E= Karistadt or Karlstadt ... |
