View Full Version : Maintainers, Stabilant 22
This contact enhancer requires industrial alcohol as a mixer prior to application.
Does anyone know if the pre-mixed solution would survive in a sealed container for future use or is it a one shot job?
Thanks in advance.
Apols if in the wrong thread, this wizardy solution was first mentioned here.

Stabilant 22 does not require any mixing or thinning. It should come with brushes to apply directly to electrical contacts. Could you provide what instructions are saying to mix it with alcohol?

Stabilant 22 comes in two forms: the original concentrate known as "22" and the alcohol diluted "22A". Each has its own use. In my experience the 22 version will handle most aircraft applications. The reason for the 22A was for tight tolerance connections requiring a thinner viscosity to penetrate effectively. So unless you have specific instructions that require the 22A version, you can use the straight 22.
If you do need 22A may just want to purchase that version in its own bottle vs mixing your own with 22.
Sorry for the delay in replying, this issue is now clear.
The kit I have does indeed have application brushes, as pointed out by TenTon, the instructions also refer to dilution by Ethanol or industrial alcohol (difference?), it then goes on to call the post dilution substance 22A or 22E as referenced by wrench1.
In my intended application (veteran automotive) neat application would be easily possible.
Thank you both.
