Is JB Steelstik conductive?

[Commie]

I'm getting some conflicting results. The box says it's conductive. My multimeter says it's not.

Can anyone confirm one way or the other? I'm talking about the inch-thick stick of grey epoxy that you kneed with your fingers to mix, not the stuff that comes in two tubes.

Thank you!

it has conductive materials but it's not "conductive" for all intents and purposes. Throw enough power at it and it'll conduct though, so I wouldn't use it as an 'insulator' but it's not going to easily cause a short.

Trust multimeter if you trust it

For our uses, no it's not conductive. If we were talking hundreds of volts, maybe a different story. I use SteelStik or QuickSteel to set all my battery connectors.

to add a little clarity... air is conductive at certain thresholds Because of what it is, it has to be listed as conductive. I'm pretty sure the ferrosilicate content is the conductive portion of any JBWeld, it's conductivity is directly related to the amount of silicon in the mix and I"m not sure what the mix is but again... it's highly unlikely you'll hit any voltage/current levels that will make it through

Wonderful! Thank you guys!
