Gardner Bender, Green LTG-400 Waterproof Liquid Electrical Tape, 4 Oz Bottle, 4 Fl Oz

I'd heard of this in a few places and decided to try it with my latest project. I purchased both the Black and the Red for 12V applications. It is fairly odorous so use in a ventilated area.I applied liquid relatively thickly so that it was opaque and it takes a little while to dry. It dried to a fairly flexible coating to stranded copper wire, adheres to silicone, cable nicks, other wire insulation and solder joints well. So far the compound has remained in place and has not torn or begun to peel in a couple weeks. I cannot attest to being a water proof coating, how it would stand up in abrasive locations or longevity so use with common sense.

This product was used to seal a repair to an underground electrical to a telephone cable. It was easy to apply (3 coats, 1 day apart) and, so far, no problems after 2 months. Being bright red it was easy to see what parts had been treated.

I've had liquid tape before and I'm sure there are many uses for the product. Recently I was rebuilding hydraulic cylinders on my tractor. The cylinders have slots to access removal pins. I found rust inside around these pins. After repair and removal of rust, I wanted a method to deter rust at these slots. A profession hydraulic cylinder repairman told me about using liquid tape. I bought red so it would be obvious and applied several coats to fill the access slot. Worked great and now no water can enter the access slot. By the way, a little trick for storing many liquids like this liquid tape. After opening it might dry up quickly. Store it upside down. This minimizes exposer of the liquid inside to the air. I use this technique on many liquids in my shop.

Solid product. 2-3 coats should do it for most small repairs. 3-4 for large areas of stripping. Smells very strong while it's still setting, so use in a ventilated area. I have so much leftover after repairing everything, so you will not run out.The brush is a little larger than ideal, so I had to wipe excess onto the inside of the bottle every time I use.

It does what it says. Magic!Pity there are no instructions... but it really works.You will need a little brush as one in lid is far too big.
