Resistors - wet

[Glengrant]

Don't know if this is the right place to put this warning, you all probably know it anyway, and I did mention it in the daily post. Resistors do not like the wet as I have found out to my cost. Keep your resistors dry. End of lesson

So keep your powder dry AND your resistors?

Anything to do with electrickery is best kept out of the wet

Wet should be kept in its place but it does have one.

Inside a pint glass, for example, albeit temporarily pending absorption by me....

But some wet is good, electolytics, Leclanche and lead acid batteries for instance. Wet should be kept in its place but it does have one.

My late father-in-law, a doctor of physics, never referred to a car or boat as having a flat battery, it was always a flat acc(accumulator)

Oh well, it's different for us simpletons

Definitely a case where resistance is not advised.

But only if you have the capacitance....

Definitely don't want to have to use the overflow register... :timeout:
