Hello,

Regarding the Gardner-Bender Liquid Tape Product.

Have a connection (117 V) in a house Service Box that is presently
taped, but quite hard to get to.
Would like to add a bit more insulation to it.

Anyone ever use this Liquid Tape product ?

I would imagine that 3M has a comparable product ?
If so, "better"?

Anyway, their site is very sparse re any good technical info. for it.

Can it be used over electrical tape, or will it disolve or otherwise
harm the tape ?
The tape's adhesive, e.g. ?

The reason I'm concerned is that they apparently use a Hexane solvent
in
it,
and
this is a pretty potent solvent, I would think ?

Or, is it just used for Non-taped joints ?

Thanks,
Bob

Hexane is a very benign solvent, so your only concern is keeping the
vapors away from a combustion source. Recall from your basic chemistry
class: methane, one carbon atom; ethane, two carbons; propane, three
carbons in a row; butane, four carbons in a row; pentane, five carbons
in row; hexane, six carbons in a row. That was easy, wasn't it? There
are isomers that we could discuss later.. G
