Reply to: Consider requesting Tef-gel when ordering new rigging

[quote=Dogboy][quote=traphappy]Just spoke by phone to the inventor of Tef-gel, the stuff that prevents corrosion between dissimilar metals. I asked him why sailboat riggers do not put this stuff into the rigging before making the swages. Short answer is that they like to sell replacement rigging....[/quote] Playing devil’s advocate.....maybe the inventor of Tef-Gel just wants to sell more Tef-Gel.... In all seriousness though, I don’t see what isolating stainless from stainless would do for you. Isolating stainless from other metals would be beneficial. Isolating stainless from moisture/salt would be beneficial (I have occasionally considered placing polyolefin lined heat shrink over the ends of the rigging). But isolating a stainless wire from a stainless terminal, I don’t really see the point there. sm[/quote]
