Anyone ever use this stuff?

I have a sample at work I've yet to try out.

Let me know how it works when you try it. I was spammed at work and it looked interesting.

I've used it at work before to evaluate pressure between a heatsink and a number of mosfets. Pretty handy stuff. There are various ranges and sensitivities.

I used a hydraulic shop press to play with the film using small (3/4" - 1") discs to make impressions on the sample. I discovered it quite difficult to get an even amount of compression across the full face demonstrating the need to machine or mill mating surfaces.

I sent the sample back for free "analysis" and a $10 Amazon card for trying it out. I'll post the results when I receive them.

My curiosity was to evaluate bolted connections such as flanges and stuff at work.
