This product is perfectly suited to improve contact and extend the life of our "dear" electrodes. It looks like water gelled in texture, slightly viscous it is not a thick gel and it spreads very easily on the surface of the electrode. It leaves no sticky or tacky feeling on the skin, you wipe your fingers with a towel and nothing else, no smell either. Given the size of the bottle and the fact that just a small pea gel for an electrode, one can expect a significant life and the 250ml 7.9 is a very good deal .
