Hey guys,
I was just wondering if anyone knows a source of that HV paint or "dope" for insulating tube socket terminals,etc. inside of equipment ?
It seems like I've seen 2 versions,A black rubbery like stuff,and a thinner red paint type stuff.
(I've heard ladies Nail Polish works well also,but i'm not sure if I trust it?)
I've got a tube amp project with +600V and -590V supplies,and I want to _make sure_ everything is well insulated,etc.
Also I have to "dope" the octal socket pins,to prevent them from arcing over.
I just can't seem to find the stuff?! 😕

Perhaps nevermind..
I just found it on AES's site...
I must have completely missed it the first time. 🙄
