I never liked the inference of that statement. I do however, recommend the closest thing to it!
Stabilant 22 was called out in a service bulletin for Columbia aircraft prior to Cessna acquiring them. I was fascinated with the concept but skeptical. I tried it on flakey wafer switches in some test equipment, and was surprised how well it worked.
I have put it on nearly every connection I could ever since.
I work with autopilots primarily on older aircraft, many of the issues lie in the harnesses, connectors, switches, breakers, etc.. In addition to testing and correcting any loose connector sockets, I apply it to every connector in the system. I would apply it to every socket inside the equipment as well. I always use it very sparingly, it doesn't take much. It is Isopropyl alcohol thinned, so it's pretty safe on any material.
Does anyone else have experience with it?
