i am replacing ccfls on my viewsonic VX2235wm and i'm wondering if there are other options to using shrinktube on the resoldered ends. what size is this tube - is 2:1 5/64 (.078) small enough? the boots have split when sliding them back from the ccfl, so they dont separate the ends as well as they once did. seems hot glue would get hot and runny again. tape seems too thick to slide into the boot. any suggestions appreciated - thanks.

Silicon adhesive; there is even a formulation designed for electrical insulation.

thanks bill - reading google links got me to rtv red (safe for automotive sensors, but still has acetic acid) and Star Brite Liquid Electrical Tape @ home depot as most easily available options. nothing @ ratshak. others i read about that have no acid or other corrosive ingredient cost 30 bux + for a few ounces. acetic acid is how big an issue here? anyone care to save me from another hour of reading and suggest any products? thanksComment

RTV6700 Series (RTV6702, RTV6703, RTV6708)
or: RTV162
GE is not the only brand those are sold under.
If the RTV number is the same then it's the same stuff no matter the brand.
