Dielectric Grease

I had a poorly soldered wire acting up. I smeared some Permatex tune up grease on it and it solved the problem.

It doesn't seem to be a good conductor except when 2 metal contacts coated with it actually touch, then the resistance drops noticeably as compared to the dry electrodes.

So you think this is an adequate solution for fixing a poor solder joint?

It'll certainly make it harder to fix the joint correctly later on!

It's surprising this isn't used on many or most contacts. That way you don't need a lot of skill tightening connections to guarantee low resistance.

Bret, One doesn't need a lot of skill to make sure a connection is tight.
Maybe there is some similar stuff I can put on the lug nuts of by truck
wheels just in case I didn't get them tight enough.

Ordinarily there shouldn't be much of a voltage drop from your wheels to the lugs.

Ad if you meant mechanically there is: Loctite.

All hacks are based on doing something "incorrectly," i.e., using a heat gun to cook scrambled eggs in motel rooms w/o microwave ovens.

Ughh, I hate reading patents!
it does say this,
"As noted, the contact stabilization materials of the present invention may comprise a plurality of block polymers of polyoxypropylene together with polyoxyethylene."

Thanks anyway.

and like Hillary & Anderson Cooper, the former flattered so out of touch with reality she had to be gong hooked by the very media who created the hideous mess in the first place.

But no one can blame me. I'm 100% big tent. I don't believe in flicking anyone like a booger like Hillary wanted to flick Putin, flick Sanders, flick her own staff, flick the DNC, flick voters, and for that matter, flick everyone on the planet except, of course, the legacy media which is routinely and properly ridiculed by the _Guardian_.

tRUMP is significantly different than Hillary in that he wants to flick the legacy media as well as all the above.

Contact the Bob Graham Center and they'll tell you the most under valued political truth behind successful activism of all time:
