Licron is not available here and shipping anything under pressure is a no-go.  

The Comfort was available at my local store so I'll give it a go.  Nice consistency too and dirt cheap.

Share a pic please, once you verify it works. BTW I bought Licron from Farnell, they had no trouble shipping it to an EU country.

Interesting, I'll see if I can find that locally.  Do you apply it with an airbrush or a sponge?  

Aumkar suggested to apply it with an airbrush, but I simply put a little on microfiber cloth and wipe it on the diaphragm.  After it dries, I buff it off.  It’s dirt cheap and working very well.

We aren't in the EU and that muddles everything.

I'll try that plus I should have some airbrush equipment somewhere.  I just made some new stators for my Senn HD6x0 design that I want to try out.

But what about humidity? It doesn't seems to be immune for it.

Humidity is always a problem.  We'll just have to try and see.

Hey Spritzer, would static- guard anti static spray work?

[spritzer]

Probably, never tried it and it always a question how long the coating would last but well worth a try.  

[Kung]

Try an ATO alcohol solution with a concentration below 10% and add 1-2% volume of AEO7. This is the conductive coating I use now. It can make a transparent coating with a stable surface resistance of 10^8Ω

[judo]

My weakness I do not know these code words: ATO, AE07. I learned chemistry in a few decades ago if not in English.

....

I googled some Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether  and antimony doped tin-oxid. Where can you get these for kitchen tuning?

Kevin warned me about that stuff as it is toxic if I remember correctly.  I have a rule of thumb, if Kevin says something is nasty stuff then I keep well clear.  

[Craig Sawyers]

Antimony compounds are no joke. Highly toxic.

[judo]

This can be a bit more complicated for example HCl is toxic in a short term NaCl is maybe in a long term  Antimony is in some solders and it can react in the real world so it depends.

Afaik AOT is not toxic. I think you can not solve directly the powder in alcohol you have to make a colloide with very little particles. So I thought that solution may be available. I am only curious I do not need this in the minute and I do not want your "secrets"  I asked about kitchen tuning because @Kung's highly pro achievements what I admire are definitely not available for me.
