Wire Glue.

Okay, I checked...it's not April 1st. I'm thinking along the lines of Lucas Electrical Smoke.

The first problem I see is when soldering wires. The solder flow or lack of it tells you if the joint is going to be cold or not.

Old electrical wires in cars are not always in good shape for connecting. An application of glue may mask what you might see otherwise. Plus how long is a glue based compound going to last?

You could very easily construct a high resitance point from it. I see mo advantage. Even a solder joint should be mechanically connected prior to soldering.

Ahhhh yes, Lucas - the Princes of Darkness, the original Sith Lords of the Dark Side.

Might actually be a real and worthwhile product - but the way that ad is worded and visually constructed just screams "scam" - "produced at a quality facility over these many years", but yet it's a "brand new product using the latest in nano-carbon technology"?

Product might be on the up and up - but I don't think the seller is.

Has this guy got a similar ad for Relative Bearing Grease?

Silver-filled epoxy. Don't use it for anything that bends, but a novel idea for its stated uses.

Could you twist the wires well and pot the junction in a tube full of NON-conductive epoxy to prevent the mechanical joint from loosening?

In house wiring before wire nuts they used copper sleeves that you slipped over two or several wires and crimp it. Grips very tight. You can still buy them at good hardware stores. On rare occasion I use them in house wiring. Sometimes a box has so many connections that transit there it gets hard to fit all the wire nuts in and out of the way of the switches or outlets. I'd trust that arrangement epoxied into immobility in a car. Buncha black tape and off you go.

I'm bothered that the ad says nothing about drying time or what type of glue it is. It says to apply the glue and 'let it dry,' over and over. Plenty of chances to specify drying time.

Lucas gets a bad rap. He did NOT invent darkness, just its sudden onset.
