Dear Readers and Members, The forum has been down for over 6 months because the domain name (www.stamforum.com) lapsed and it is no longer available to re purchase. Although this forum is now defunct (it has morphed into several whatsapp groups), I have had many requests to put it back online because it contains so much information (over 1,800 posts and thousands of comments in the discussions, on a wide range of topics related to STa"M). I have therefore put the forum back online at blogger, so the address is www.stamforum.blogspot.com. The forum lasted for a decade...not a bad effort! It was pretty popular back in the days before whatsapp and managed to receive over a million hits in it's short life. It was one of the only organised forums in the STa"M world and definitely the largest in it's heyday. I would like to thank all those who cobtributed over the years, particularly the early members who helped build it up. Thanking you all, Eli
I don’t know anything about this, but I just want to point out that there is an all-purpose cleaner called “goop”. If you want to use goop on batim, make sure you’re buying the glue and not the soap.

DeleteI have since found out that it is silicone based and not considered as a chatzitah by those who advocate its use because it absorbs into the bayis and is not a "barrier'
ReplyDeleteAs long as there is no mamashus it should be fine. There is a Goop product that you use on your hands before getting your hands dirty. It acts like a "virtual" glove. I assume this is the product being referred to. Personally I use a fine layer of refined Linseed oil but any oil should provide protection against moisture.
