Graphene Contact Mix
What with TAS members reporting such good results with the use of the Mad Scientist Black Graphene Contact Solution, I thought I would experiment with a DIY solution, without a doubt the Mad Scientist looks a great product, and although I haven’t personally purchased any, I would recommend simply based on user reports from TAS.
This “Beltism” obsession with Graphene started for myself with the shielding of a Ground Box, and has kept me busy, filtering though many rabbit holes, reading articles, watching You Tube videos, it’s only then you realise that Graphene is used on many other solutions from reduced engine use to polishing your car bonnet.
For the mix you will need 30 grams of Graphene Powder and NOT Graphene Oxide Powder. I purchased some ebay from the Ukraine.
The biggest issue I had was applying the Graphene to a surface. On the face of it, it’s only the Graphene we are looking to apply to a metal surface, if only Graphene was sticky!
I simply chose the following oil as a carrier of the Graphene, as it has to be applied somehow, as it would simply fall off, and it is highly conductive at microscopic level it would be Russian roulette on possible electrical shorts.
So there are many oils on the market, I work in the motorcycle industry, so for this purpose I went for 1Ltr of Putoline Off Road N-Tech Pro -R 10w-60 oil. This is a fully synthetic oil that uses Putoline N-Tech additive system. In a perfect world we wouldn’t have to apply anything accept Graphene, so I went with this as N Tech is designed for engines to be kept clean, meaning no corrosion on your posh gold platinum silver etc connectors.
If you want to read into the specs about the N Tech look here, it ticks lots of boxes

I think one of the mistakes I made was using too much oil, when I originally started I used 1ltr of oil with 10 grams of Graphene, and shook it around in a plastic bottle, indeed the oil turned black, but the ratio was not enough, having already mixed it, I order 20 grams more and the mixture and Graphene was more present in the oil.
What I should have done, is added the oil as I went along, so I could have used 10grams of Graphene to 400ml-500ml of oil, my mistake of course and we have to remember we only using the oil to spread and make sticky to your connector.
In regards to applying and thanks to the my tester John, I would suggest a small art paint brush, don’t put much on , but you need to spread and see that’s it’s smokey black, naturally you don’t want it dripping! So tacky is what we are looking for.
Then we need to cure or dry a bit. Personally I would wait one or two hours before connecting, and as time goes on, it should that to improve as it cures more.
What’s next.... Well I haven’t got a clue on how to do it yet, but I would say the way forward is the learn how to electro plate graphene on to connectors, which would be a permanent solution.
It is a case of only time before we see Graphene based connectors hit he market? Will they be a mixture of alloys...who knows? But it will make for interesting times, as we will have another sound signature to add to the mix.

and yes its very measureble both electrically & metallurgically filling in the gaps is nearer to the truth
