That's awesome that they've come out with a commercial RTV that is "electronics safe" - for years, the only safe RTV was good ol' Dow RTV3145 that we used to get at the DRMO sales. Expired shelf life for the military was taken seriously back then - now, because of costs, they extend it liberally beyond the manufacturers data. RTV3145 is Mil-spec, UL Listed, and expensive - about 24 bucks a tube, enough to fully coat a flyback.

I guess sensor safe RTV is obtainable at auto parts places? Gotta look next time. I have a spare flyback (or two!) for my CTC-16 roundies and my portacolor, but to spare a flyback, I may go with sensor safe if ever the need.

Yet another VK educational moment!
