Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!

Has anyone re-applied the NPS-1260 due to removing and re-connecting cables a few time (like when one rotates equipment, like amps, dac's, speakers and the like)?  If so- what did you notice and was the effect the same or different as applying the first time?

The NPS1260 doesn’t actually come off when the fitting is disconnected, etc. Many times, all that is necessary is to just use a small brush to redistribute it on the fitting.

To answer the question, no, I have not noticed a change when reapplied.

Nor have I. Remarkable stuff, really.

ozzy and boxer12- I believe your experiences are accurate.  Thank you for the input!  According to an email I received from High Fidelity Cables in September " We move cables around often and find that a re-application is not always necessary. In fact, it is maybe every 3rd or 4th disconnection that we will treat again. We recommend evaluating the remaining visible NPS-1260 and re-applying if it shows to be diminished".  

My experience is that I need to reapply after several disconnects as I move equipment in and out of systems.  I do that much more frequently than most others, as I evaluate pieces of equipment I acquire over time.  For example, yesterday I heard a bit of edge in a track I am very familiar with- a xylophone sounded a little harsh.  I inspected the RCA and speaker cables, and reapplied a VERY THIN re-coat to them- harshness gone!  In fact, after brushing off excess as directed, I didn't need to dip the brush into the solution again to sufficiently cover the 2 ends of RCA and 4 banana plugs.  The re-coat, I suspect, was part new NPS 1260 and part redistribution of existing NPS 1260. 

So- for me, assessing the need to re apply is a combination of knowing how many times I've disconnected things, noting any changes to sound and visual inspection.
