Anyone ever use Liquid Electrical Tape?
Do yall know of anything i can use in lieu of such a product?
Would RTV silicone sealant do the trick?
i'm messing with an open powersupply and want to do something to keep myself alive :)
space is tight, so liquid stuff seems like a better option than tape or shrink tubing.

Man walmart around here used to carry the liquid tape and now I can't find it anymore :( RTV is a fine insulator, just be warned that it CAN (most now don't) produce a weak acid and over many many years put tiny pits in stuff or strip paint. Its slow to dry, but most of all it stinks :D I'd just cram duct tape all over that puppy :D

If it can't be fixed with duct tape, it ain't really broke.
