Walkers SST silver treatment


How long can you leave it on your contacts until it needs to be cleaned and retreated??? Will it tarnish? Thanks

Yes, like Trlja said: be extremely careful with any of this stuff.

I was going nuts with some silver treatment stuff and got a bunch of it on my hands and face. Evidently I put too much on my tube pins (or maybe it was from coating the whole tube - my bad). When I installed the tubes and fired up my amp....POW! the last thing I remember was a big flash of light. The tubes exploded. I was jolted in the face with 280 volts of electricity, glass cut my face and left eye ball all up, the whole right side of my face caught on fire and burned most of my hair off. The fingers on my left hand were reduced to nubs.

My wife, who was watching in horror, tried to put the fire out by kicking me in the face over and over. Broke my nose and took out two of my teeth. We lost one of our cats in the incident too.

I hate when this happens and, I don't know if this tweak made my system sound better or not.

So yes, exercise a little caution with this stuff.

Kidding.

Cheers!

I didn't mention the 182 stitches from the glass and two fractured vertebrae in my neck from my wife kicking me. The whole thing just went wrong. Still, this turned out to be a family event so there's pictures that captured this "Kodak Moment". Let me know and I'll post them if you want.

The upside: The vender sent me a FREE replacement tube with straw of this stuff - a $17.95 value!

I had my son apply it the next go. another story...

Cheers!
