While I have used either a soldering gun with a long extension cord or a propane torch as others have indicated for some 25 years, I have found that GE Silicone II Sealant, which is fine for outside,

Me, too. I know people say it causes problems, but I've yet to ever see any problem or sign of any problem. I've used it or similar for many years. :-) Same here. 73 Tom ____________________________

Hi Guy, The only thing to watch out for--and I don't know if Silicone II Sealant falls into this category, or not--are the corrosive fumes that might be emitted during the curing process... If the "r

Tom, what your thinking about GE sealant is that GE first came out with RTV, which was suppose to be the bad stuff cause of the chemicals they used eat at copper.  Back then thats all there was cause

Acetic acid is involved in the silicone curing process. I forget the exact mechanism but it should be easy enough to look up. Btw, someone mentioned eletrical tape becoming a "sticky mess" over time.

The original stuff used acetic acid for the curing process. The II variety does not. I still prefer to use it over acrylic spray or especially vinyl tape. That way you don't get it directly on the me

Wrap one layer of electrical tap with sticky side up on the first layer helps with the mess.   Stay on course, fight a good fight, and keep the faith. Jim K9TF/WA9YSD ________________________________

Hello All Most of my 'soldering in the wild' has used a small gas-fired torch (a BIC lighter works well) but I have often used nothing more than a strike-anywhere match. Try it - you will be pleasant
