(Ok, but I meant gold, not cold, if I had a gold lead to the coil and the coil had one or one and a half less loops on the edge of the cup, there should be less resistance.

Thanks, yeah, that does look like silicone at the base. Fine w/ me, I don't think that's where the old glue smell was coming from.
I thought if you burned it it gave off an awful smell. Anyway, if it's material that cures in time, I hope they simply allow it to cure in a ventilated area, prior to filling or sealing the cartos. It's simple, but I hope it's not overlooked.

(Allowing curing time on many things also refer to a bead size that is specified in the directions (afaik), it does not mean that a pyramid of the putty will cure in the same number of days as a small bead of it would.
For example, if a Roadrunner uses a putty from the ACME company, the tube might say something like apply a bead no larger than 1/8", and allow it to cure in a ventilated area for 72hrs. But if the coyote tries a bead of 1" and expects it to be cured in minutes instead of weeks, it could fail)
