RE: The Monster Amp

Huh. Food for thought I guess. I've never seen a problem with it. NASA are no dummies, though. My guess is that it is only with certain metals and certain stupidly extreme environmental conditions.

Heck, I have a couple of 25+ year old Mercedes where the electronics modules were factory sealed with the stuff. No corrosion.

Besides, look, I'm not saying that this trick is for everyone. I've never done it because I just hate silicone caulk, the stench and the mess. But I'm talking about placing it between glass (practically inert) and little metal tube shield (fifty cents, who cares if it DOES oxidize). There's not a whole lot of opportunity for damage here. If you can put it on a circuit board and after 20 years, it doesn't eat the copper traces, I'm just not gonna worry about it on a tube.

Anyhow, never tried the teflon tape. I'm gonna give it a shot and report back.
