RE: Mad Scientist Graphene-based Contact Enhancer

Further to my last message about applying sparingly - I did some exerimenting and I find you get best results like this:

1) Apply a little to one of the applicators, or a cotton bud (ideally do not use the brush in the bottle to apply).

2) Apply a very light coating to the contact(s)

3) Lightly dab with a tissue (like you'd use blotting paper to absorb ink) so that it appears to have almost none left.

(However you can confirm that there is still in fact graphene on the contact by now trying to polish - you'll see black on the tissue. To completely remove, clean with isoproyl alcohol or meths.)

Remember that this stuff acts at a microscopic level, measured in tens of nanometers, which you won't be able to see..

If you put too much on the results depend on the type of contact, and the surface finish. Some contacts don't mind being drowned, but some don't like it and give unpredictable results - if you hear strange effects like excess sibilance, muted bass, no highs, etc, then you have too much on there.

One more thing : GCE works at about 80% right after applying, but seems to immprove after 24-48 hours of being left alone. It's not really surprising in this case - the suspended graphene particles can take some time to flow into all the crevices.
