Georgie Boy Pursuit electrical problem
Poking your brains! 2006 Pursuit - front of the RV electricity out. Apparent overload (thought I was OK, but seems like circuit breaker/fuse disagreed!). Tried the GFI in bathroom, but nothing. Ch...

Most aluminum "de-oxidizers" are a farce.
Please provide intelligent affirmation that straight 100% pure COSMOLINE does anything but coat aluminum.
I've tried meaning ran experiments with many products UNDER LOAD.
The solitary brand that did anything at all, did it well
CAIG DeOxit D100
This got kicked off many years ago with a Weller D500 260-watt soldering gun. Wouldn't work --- wouldn't work. Change tips -- tighten the snot out of the screws in the ALUMINUM gun feeder barrels --- ZIP
D-R-O-W-N-E-D
The gun's aluminum tubes with money badly spent at a Home Depot using an aluminum "De-Oxidizer" that set me back almost eight dollars.
The hyped product was left in the barrels FULL TO THE BRIM for 4-5 days then emptied.
Brand new Weller brand tip installed
Deader than an upside down horse
Tried CAIG De-Oxit D100 for the first time.
Instant results. Gun ran perfectly.
Ran watts TEST on BACKUP D-100 Weller gun
Watts increased about 30%
Tip heated up much faster
Want misery? ATTEMPT to clean the bores of a Weller soldering gun.
THEN
It was confirmation time
Scrap oxidized aluminum
Floods of the cosmoline product
With threads screw down a wire stub using a stainless steel bolt
Then amping the krap out of the connection
Verifying with infrared readings and lab benchtop meters
The cosmoline is a joke
The De-Oxit works
Tell that to the regulatory bodies
The difference between the two compounds is not subtle it is outrageous
Aluminum MUST be plated with Sn to "work" (tin). Copper, silver or gold will also prevent an Cu/Al fire.
I could care less if Hungarian Hog Snot prevented Cu/Al disaster
But I know this
The De-Oxit D100 has been in that gun for 5 years, with 4 tip changes.
And it still draws 247 watts at 120vac
And the garbage in the white bottle, red seal and black print on the bottle was hurled out the back window. Because
It
Does
Not
Work
