Re: [TCML] phillips question about wax and more

Tar is never used. The black stuff in NSTs is actually a mixture of asphalt  
and silica flower, which makes it a stiffer consistency. Once it's potted, 
they  don't want it to liquefy too easily and run out of the case. Also, it 
slowly  dries out with age and becomes harder to remelt.

This transformer was potted in Tar, which is
somehow worse than the  asphalt.  It doesn't pour well, and is stickier
than the asphalt.
