    Their sold on ebay like that,  bought one years ago. The ones I had the piezo and the wire were dipped.

    Ok...I can see where you are insulating with this so nothng will short out. I don't see it as actually shielding though. That needs something that stops electromagnetic fields from getting to your components, typically a grounded metal cage or covering of some sort.

      What I mean by shielding is it suppresses ambient vibrations and feedback loops. Piezo Transducers are not affected by electromagnetism like magnetic pickups are. To shield a piezo you need electric and sonic insulation.

      Ok. Now I know. I was using different terms. Sheilding for electrical and damping for acoustic control. I dipped a piezo for use on a standard acoustic guitar. It worked very well. Now I know why.

    Thanks for the tip. Would you coat a pot with this stuff, capacitors?

    • G.S.Monroe > Dave Lynas February 4, 2014 at 10:20pm

      Yes, I cover the outside casing, but I'm careful about not getting any of it inside the pot. I certainly do not recommend dipping a pot in this stuff, just cover what is necessary to avoid shorting out the wiring.

    After I solder the harness, I dip the disks to completely coat them. The stuff works well as an adhesive and rubberized shielding. After I put the harness into place I add a second coat overall, and hit all the exposed solder connections.

      Thanks much. I'll be picking me up some plastic dip.

    G. S., are you dipping the disc, or just coating the exposed back after you attach it?
