Beeswax would be interesting except you would have to pour it while liquid ( 160 degrees) , would be a good heat sink , especially for absorption of heat during the phase change, if you mixed with mineral oil you could lower the melting point. It would not tend to leak in it's solid phase . But would not work for lights since it would be opaque in the solid phase. </FONT></FONT><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif">Brian</FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"><BR></FONT></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT size="2" style=""><FONT face="Arial, sans-serif"> </FONT></FONT><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">--- personal_submersibles@psubs.org wrote:</SPAN><BR><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">From: irox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org>, Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org></SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Oil Comp Lessons - so far</SPAN><BR><SPAN style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Date: Tue, 2 Jul 2019 23:03:31 -0700 (GMT-07:00)</SPAN><BR><BR><DIV style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><BR>Have you considered pressure compensating with honey? :)<DIV>What is the runniest honey I can get?</DIV><DIV>Maybe it would only be good for electronics, or is it conductive?</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV>Cheers!</DIV><DIV>Ian</DIV><DIV><BLOCKQUOTE style="padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 0px; border-left: #0000ff 2px solid; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: black;">-----Original Message-----

Since it was highly recommended for oil compensation I purchased some and just assumed it was a clear liquid like mineral oil packaged in a red transparent bottle. Nope. Imagine my surprise when I poured it into the LED fixture and discovered the gorgeous ruby red color of the oil. Mmmmm....pretty. Anyway, I went ahead with the compensation just to see how everything would react together. It went together well and if you saw my video on this LED fixture, the seal worked perfectly as I expected it would.</P><P></P></DIV><DIV><P></P> <P></P></DIV><DIV><P>Second, kudos to Alan, he was spot on regarding the wicking of oil through the wiring. And it didn't take but minutes in this case. I did not take the unit apart to the point of seeing how the wire enters the housing and I'm sure this can be modified, however I noticed within minutes there was oil escaping through the power connector pins. See attached photos. That shiny side inside the power connector is not nice new shiny plastic, it's Marvel Mystery Oil seeping through (I suspect) the outer wire insulation.</P><P></P></DIV><DIV><P></P> <P></P></DIV><DIV><P>I think my experimentation is done and I'm ready to endorse the Pronk LED modification to happy lighting under the sea.
