Hi Kevin some of the stuff are harder then others . the rectifier on my skidoo is using an harder stuff than a gel compound,,,,,,,,,,,
i will check in my dictionnary for the translation of your MEK . thanks many times gervais ve2ckn From: kevin valentino Sent: Sunday, March 07, 2010 10:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] OT,,some gel on board!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it a "gel" or more like a potting compound ? I used Methyl Ethyl Keytone (MEK) to open potted circuits from competitors when i was in design and manufacturing engineering. Worked great and even left identification of parts intact. I don't suggest you specifically use MEK without further investigation. The stuff I was dissolving, which actually took hours depending on volume, was potting compound, (very similar to injection molding materials) not a gel. Worth an investigation anyway. --- On Sun, 3/7/10, gervais <[email protected]> wrote: From: gervais <[email protected]> Subject: [Repeater-Builder] OT,,some gel on board!!!!!!!!!!!!
