Does mighty putty conduct electricity?
Can you use it to patch things that involve wires? I have an antique coffee urn that I really like, but there’s a piece missing that comes in contact with some of the wires (the original part was made of Bakelite) and I need to rebuild it. It’s an extremely simple fix, but I just want to be safe.
And no, I’m not just going to chuck the thing and pick up one of those $10 Chinese-made Wal-Mart specials, this thing is a great appliance that’s been doing a great job for like 50 years, so I don’t want any sass.
Thanks in advance.
ALSO:
Thanks for the helpful info, and for reference, here’s a picture of the part I was going to use the mighty putty on:
I had a similar problem with melted switch on a stove and part was unserviceable and unavailable, I used a product called JB Weld http://jbweld.net/index.php , I have used this product several times and it has never let me down. I have used this to repair a hole that was corroded underneath an exhaust seat on an antique engine and it didn’t burn out so it will surely handle the heat of a coffee maker. Comes in 2 small tubes like an epoxy but has a much higher heat resistance than most epoxies. Give it a try and you will be surprised at how good it will work. Hope this helps
