G-QRP Reflector - 18 August 2007
If any of you are thinking about getting some liquid tape off
Richard.... Do
so!! Mine arrived this morning and have just used it.... I can only
say 'it's
superb!'...
...Thanks Richard for finding such a super product!

FAST AND PERMANENT REPAIRS ON WIRES
AND CONNECTIONS AND MORE...!
Liquid Electrical
Tape is an air-dried, synthetic rubber coating that can be brushed on
and exhibits excellent moisture, acid, alkaline, abrasion, and
dielectric resistance.
Offers far more
efficient sealing than sticky cable seals and tape. Perfect for quick
access and portability! Great for sealing all antenna connections. The
coating is flexible making it ideal for use on portable antenna
connections. Tests we have done show that the product, unlike many
other sealants, does not affect the Q of toroids used at HF - it has
good dielectric properties and low losses.
Liquid Electrical
Tape remains flexible even under extreme conditions and won't crack,
harden, or peel.
Electrically
insulates to over 1380volts/ml.
Liquid Electrical
Tape is excellent for use in a variety of applications including
electrical connections and components for boats, trailers, cars and
lorries, timers, outdoor wiring, instruments, computers, circuit
boards, switches, radio antennas, and many more. Easily removed from
non-porous surfaces.
Supplied in a 4 fl.oz
(118ml) mini can, with applicator brush mounted in the lid. Colour -
Black. One can contains enough Liquid Tape for dozens of
connections.
Use on Aerials
Have you ever felt
that your aerial system is not performing quite as well as it used to?
Maybe the beacons are just a little weaker or the DX is that much more
difficult to work? One common reason for such observations is getting
water inside your feeder cable. Rainwater will leak in wherever it can
and few sealing methods offer good long-term protection. The design of
coaxial cable is such that it draws water in by capillary action. The
water can then corrode the wires inside the coax, it also degrades the
dielectric performance - increasing losses - sometimes dramatically.
Meanwhile back in the shack often all appears well. Increased cable losses make
the SWR of aerials look better, but your power is not being radiated,
it's heating up the inside of your damp cable. As often as not, water
ingress goes un-noticed until water drips out of the cable inside your
shack. In the meantime you have been using a radio system that has
been below par for months or even years.
Liquid Tape is the
answer! This product is easily painted onto all types of electrical
joints using the brush applicator within the can. It dries in just a
few minutes leaving a low-loss, flexible and impervious coating on
your cable. No more water ingress! A single 118ml can contains enough
of the product for dozens of connections!
Unprotected cable - water will
enter down the centre core and along the braid. The design of coaxial
cable draws the water along the whole length of the cable by capillary
action. A disaster waiting to happen!
Insulating tape is a common method
of sealing cables. It does not work well. Even self-amalgamating tapes
don't penetrate the copper braid, leaving capillary action to do the
damage.
Liquid tape on the other hand
penetrates the braid and leaves a smooth coating bonded to the cable.
It is both flexible and impervious to water - it looks great too!
