      What can I substitute for the old hard tar like material used to insulate the coil and ignition wire connections from the magplate on my BN-25 and A-35?

          Is there a specific name brand and heat tolerance you would recommend?

            Any 100% silicone will work. It’s not a high temp area. Black will make it look authentic if that’s what your looking for.

              I used black liquid insulation ‘tape’. It goes on thin, so multiple coatings. Then, just to be on the safe side I covered it with vinyl electrical tape.

                Is the recommended silicone also an insulator, i.e., non-conductive?

                  100% silicone is a great insulator

                    I’ve used this.

                        Sounds pretty handy. Lots of videos on YouTube……. here’s one…..

                        Not as cheap as silly putty, but may be more fun.
