How do you make carbon rubber electrode?
Starting with ordinary silicone rubber sealant add as much ultra-fine graphite powder as it is possible to get the sealant to absorb to make a putty. You will need to add so much that the putty will *almost* no longer be mouldable. Form the putty around a wire and leave to cure. You will now have a carbon rubber electrode. If it does not conduct you have not added enough graphite dust. As some silicone sealant contains fungicide this should not be used on the skin. Adding lighter fluid to silicone sealant thins it down. It may be possible to do this when making the putty to thin it down and get it to absorb more graphite powder. However I have not attempted to thin the mix in this way and as the lighter fluid stays in the silicone putty after curing *never* use this when skin contact is intended.

What did James Wright invent?
James Wright was an engineer at General Electric who invented Silly Putty in 1943. The invention of Silly Putty happened by accident. During World War II, many of the rubber-producing countries in Asia were being invaded by Japan. This made natural rubber scarce and difficult to procure. Any rubber that was found was used to make tires or other supplies necessary for the war. General Electric hired Wright to try to develop a cheap rubber substitute. In 1943, Wright accidentally dropped boric acid into silicone oil, creating a substance with unusual elastic properties that would eventually be marketed as "silly putty."
How do you replace the rubber seal around the shower drain?
