    Do you think Tetrachloroethylene-based silicone will work as well as the artificially high-priced "electronics" branded stuff?

    I use electronics grade Silicone RTV, regular Silicone RTV is corrosive due to acid content.

    Does anyone know what kind of insulation adhesive Antec uses in their Delta-built PSUs, specifically the Earthwatt D's? It's like a very dense closed cell foam. Also, what do you use for adhesive? Is RTV silicone safe to use?

    I have dealt with this glue problem since the 70's. They get old, turns dark brown then becomes conductive and corrosive.

    I'm a bit confused? They are smart enough not to put glue that conducts electricity.
    What happened to this glue? What caused it to make such a mess?
    Temperature, chemical reactions or something else?

    Got 6 Samsung 245bw in, 3 were fixed by just removing bad glue, other 3 are badly damaged (will have to do more repair later).
