Re: past year spikes

Jacob,
I frown on using RTV for this kind of application. RTV gives off acetic acid during the curing process and that plays havoc with certain types of metals and electronic coatings. A dab (very small) of hot glue will go a long way, but for my money, a simple tywrap close to the device holding the wire in place is the absolute best bet at quick replacment.
