Moneybox Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 (edited) Am I missing something? I haven’t checked the freight but I doubt it’s that expensive. If the freight is the killer then perhaps find how many need a tube and ship them together? Edited September 2 by Moneybox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little more then the alternate product but you get the product specified. It becomes cheaper if you can purchase more although you then have to add local post to each recipient. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skippydiesel Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 Wacker from EU - Just now - EUR 132.80 = AU 218.51= $10.96/ml Compared with; In Au - MG Chemicals for $65.15 = about $ 0.44/gm True the Wacker P12 remains Rotax recommended product, however the MG has been recommended by a highly respected Rotax technician on the Rotax Owners Forum with the statement MG Chemicals Heat Transfer Compound Silicon as an appropriate substitute, that he has used to good effect for 23 years. I am merely presenting, what I believe is a rational/cost effective alternative. There are maintainers, out there, who are obsessed with following every detail of Rotax recommended service/items, to the point where their aircraft is grounded due to their inability to make a logical alternative decision eg to use an available product, at reasonable cost, that meets/exceeds Rotax standards, when the recommended product may be difficult to access and prohibitively expensive. Ultimately, I support the right of the owner/maintainer, to use whatever they wish to look after their Rotax. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I pointed out, some posts back, there are lots of heat sink paste options in the marketplace. As a non technical person, I am "wedded" to Rotax specifications. This does not mean I always purchase from RoTAX but do use "stuff" that meets/exceeds the Rotax standards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onetrack Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 There's a big difference between grams and millilitres, you're comparing apples to oranges. Grams is weight measure, ml is volume measure. You can have a vast difference in quantity for the same numerical amount, depending on the S.G. of the particular product. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
