- TT: I just checked my can of liquid electrical tape in the garage to help out another TT'ian and found that it's become rather thick. I checked the archives but found nothing on thinning this stuff.

- MEK (methylethyl chloride) is the accepted thinner. Just don't ask me where. In fact I would like to know where to get some to thin out my can of liquid tape. Jim Rhodes jim@rhodesend.net ___________

- MEK is methyl ethyl ketone. [I don't know if it's the correct thinner for "liquid tape." 73, George T Daughters, K6GT CU in the California QSO Party (CQP) October 3-4, 2009 _________________________

- MEK among other wierd things are available at the paint department of Home Depot. Surprised me too when I found it accidentally. I stocked up on stuff we used to use at work before it was 'bad" pract

- The "K" in MEK stands for "Ketone" not "Chloride". Big difference. Maybe DMK would work? That's DiMethyl Ketone. That's Acetone. Bill--W4BSG _______________________________________________ __________

- As a suggestion, with your next can of liquid electrical tape, when you finish up the job, put the cap on tight, then put the whole can in a glass jar with a screw on, gasket top. (mason jar or even

- The thinner used is definitely not Acetone. There's a major difference in the odor. I go through about a gallon of Acetone as well as mineral spirits per month. 73 Roger (K8RI) ______________________

- Roger: Thanks for your suggestion, but I'll stay away from MEKP. We used that stuff years ago when I was with the electric utility company and we were experimenting with polymer concrete (Google it o

- A Google search for liquid tape thinner didn't turn up an immediate answer but did turn up a pdf from GC Electronics containing a spec sheet for liquid tape. In this spec sheet was a listing of compo

- I guess wasn't clear. That was not a suggestion to use MEKP for thinner. It'd be poor for that as it's a highly reactive oxidizer. I was commenting on using a lot of the stuff along with acetone in m
