Thanks for that input - I did put some in the microwave and it
was fine as you said, and I have wrapped / smeared some around
some 14 gauge Cu wire and bent it around and it adheres
remarkably well ! Any idea how it suffers UV ?
Not bad at all - much better than epoxy, for example. It turns
slightly more opaque, but doesn't crack or peel.
It only really needs to last a year or so as by then I am
re-doing aerials and things...
You don't say where you are in the world, but in these latitudes
( low and mid-50s) I've used it for several years without
problems. For a year or two, I'd guess it would be fine almost
anywhere.
Southern UK - Hampshire, and much of the time it is locked up in
the garage in the dark - so maybe a century ???
The other product I have found to work extremely well is Evo-Stick
impact adhesive... it seems to tolerate sun forever and is still a
little flexible
after years too - but as more fluid only really any good for thin
films / coatings...
Thanks,
Nick
