HOW
TO APPLY E-SST/SST
Whether
you are putting it on audio and video equipment or something else, the
same rules apply.
It is best to clean the connections with a contact cleaner that
leaves no residue. If the contact is corroded, you can lightly sand or
scrape it. Then clean it.
Apply
a very thin (almost transparent) coat of E-SST or SST to the male end of
the connector. I’ve been asked which is the male end. For the
uninitiated, the male end of a connector is the part that sticks
out....think anatomy! Apply to the male end or to the ring connector or
to the end of the spark plug that the plug wire goes to. Remember, very
thin. More is not better.
REMOVE
EXCESS
If
you get too much, use alcohol or contact cleaner to remove it. Take your
time and pay close attention. Use E-SST and SST at their own risk.
E-SST and SST are very conductive. If you get it across a connection,
you can short out your equipment.
When applied properly, you will have no problems. In fact, we
guarantee you’ll be satisfied with the results or we will refund the
purchase price.
IF
PASTE GETS TOO THICK
Over
time, E-SST and SST will dry to a thick paste. This is by design so that
it does not migrate. Use two or three drops of the supplied fluid. Add
one drop at a time and stir with a wooden toothpick to achieve a
consistency that is easy to work with. You can also use Canola oil
available at most grocery stores.
BREAK-IN
PERIOD
E-SST/SST will immediately make a
significant improvement. It will be even better after eight to ten hours
of break-in time for the treated connectors.
RECONNECTING/REAPPLYING
Before
reconnecting, it is beneficial to take a used applicator with the SST
wiped off (some will still be embedded in the applicator) and spread
over the connector. This will help to distribute the SST that remains on
the connector. If you reapply it, make sure there is not excessive SST
on the connector. If there is, clean it as directed above before
applying more. If you have any questions about how to use this product,
call us.
NEW
USES FOR E-SST/SST
Customers
are applying E-SST to every electrical connection you could image. We thought putting it on a hair
dryer was bit unusual, but my favorite is the customer who put it on his
weed whacker. Lawnmowers and other outdoor equipment with engines can
benefit from it. See link at top of this page for our motorcycle
experience.
Advanced
Uses
We've
heard from our more adventurous customers, reviewers and manufacturers
who have applied E-SST to the inside connections of projectors,
computers, and DVD players and we've done this ourselves as well. The
results are astounding.
This
is not recommended for most people, only for qualified electronic
technicians. The inside connections are very small and close together
and can be fragile. Use a bright light and magnifying glasses to see the
connections and a sharp toothpick to apply E-SST. Use only a tiny amount
on ¼ to ½ of the pin. And use extreme care to avoid damaging the
connectors and/or shorting out your equipment.
