Hello,

I have a question for you:

Is there a glue that can be used to glue together electronics without the
glue becoming conductive after a while ?

Silicone.

Not silicone! (AKA RTV)

The stuff exudes/outgasses acetic acid as it dries, which corrodes
metals. The corrosion "grows" and puts resistive paths between
reasonably close adjacent conductors. CBers though it was hot **** for
weatherproofing coax connectors exposed to the elements when it first
became commercially available. 6 months or so later, they'd start
getting lousy SWR problems. Upon opening the connections, they'd find
white crap all over the interior of the connector bodies.

There is a special version of silicone sealant/gasket replacement sold
in automotive parts places (Permatex is one brand) that does work, it's
orange and says "safe for oxygen sensors".

The versions that produced acetic acid went off market over 20 years
ago in favor of thixotropic varieties. I remember thinking much like
the CBers 40 years ago as a teen. Come up the years.
