[TowerTalk] Thinning liquid tape

[TexasRF at aol.com]

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 components that show 37% of the 
 product to be VM & P Naptha.
 
So, perhaps the thinner might be Naptha?

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 a cleaned 
pickle jar) Use a jar that is  just large enough you can put the tape 
container inside.  BTW if you  have some RTV around, keep the tube(s) in 
a tightly capped plastic  (Tuperware) container.  RTV uses the moisture 
in the air as a curing  agent. I have some in tubes that have been opened 
that are over 12 years  old and still usable that have been stored this 
way. It normally cures in  an unopened tube in 2 or 3 years.

I don't know what the thinner is, but  it "to me" has a rather sweet smell.
I use a lot of MEKP which is Methyl  Ethyl Ketone Peroxide. (NEVER give 
MEKP the "sniff test".) It's nasty  stuff.
