I have split the bottles of silicone fluid Mark and I had into 5ml o-ring sealed plastic vials for ease of use and to help folks that need a couple different viscosities for audio work. Most cuing needs a 100,000-500,000cSt fluid and maybe 0.5ml, maybe that much. Usually less. The typical bottle is 2 oz or 59ml more than enough for you, everyone you know and all their friends for a lifetime doing audio gear.

Now for 28 shipped in the US I have a couple sets of fluid available. Included are 7 different viscosities. 40, 10,000, 50,000, 100,000, 200,000, 300,000 and 500,000. You can mix them to attain the correct viscosity between two values but use on line calculators as it is not an algebraic calculation.

Just playing around this pic of the 300k and 500k were taken a few minutes after I set them up and took the above pic and you can see the bubble in the 300k isn't moving very fast and the slosh in the 500k will take a while to level out.

I think I have two sets available, need to find out if Mark wants a set for his contribution to my collection of these fluids.

I might be interested in a set. I have 80k and 100k inbound already, but any others I don’t have, I’d like to have to play with.

I want to determine the ideal viscosity for my revised damping paddles.

If you are using this as damping fluid most use 60,000cSt but with different paddles and different depths of fluid in the trough adjustments can be made to that viscosity and get good results.

I've got some learning to do with the trough on the Black Widow. Its trough is tiny.

100k is stock for the MA-505, but my paddle is a bit wider to give it strength, so I figured 80k would behave similarly.

At this point I’m not even sure if the printed paddle will react with the silicone or not… I don’t think so but I have to test.
