    I've been using liquid electrical tape. If you paint it on thick, it peels off perfectly.

    Black and white:



    Drying:



    The tape itself:

    I was expecting a slightly kinkier result

    I was using Performix tape.... which I love but has more than doubled in price

    I was sent some Star-Brite and I hate it. Don't like its consistency, don't like how fast I get through a bottle, don't like how it eats some of the stickers on GPUs


    I bought a bottle of liquid latex. It was cheap and I have dead stuff here to try it on. What's the worst that can happen??

    Did you have a chance to try it out? I've also been using Liquid Electrical Tape (mostly just on video cards)

    Goes on white, dries clearish, unless it was applied mega thick.

    4 hours later ,it's still tacky.

    (i'm sure plenty folk on here have used liquid latex and know exactly how it behaves, but this is new for me

    I use liquid latex for masking purposes in painting. Many different types, but all need to be applied in multiple thin layers to cure well. A heavy coat will just produce a thin top film with liquid below it. Make sure to avoid pockets of air as you apply the material. A hair dryer on low heat can be used to decrease the set time.

    Liquid nitrogen temperatures are not forgiving to many things including liquid latex. (as you already know) I fear for it getting too brittle and cracking during use.

    Once the smell dissipates, it works pretty well as a contraceptive.
    Signatures make my posts look huge... but I'm not humble enough to completely remove my signature, so I kept this note explaining it.

    Make sure that under the cpu is sealed cos this stuff will creep in under then it is there forever. I let that happen and rig would not post.

    I think you can get accelerators and fillers and dyes for this but I am not sure of their electrical qualities.

    There may be a case for using fillers in the above scenario

    Yea. While it is nice and easy to remove, it just doesn't "feel" right. I am not reassured I think i'll have to call this idea a failure.


    Contraceptive: no. I'm very unlikely to......hmmmmmm..... "stay interested" for 4 hours while it sets. Plus.... I don't think it'll expand safely when...... yea.
