Hi folks.............any recommendation for a good heat gun to be used for shrink wrapping would be appreciated. Also, good known sources for shrink wrap itself. 73 John K4NP ________________________

I've used my SMD solder station to do this, you just have to watch the heat. They can be had for $75, so before I spent much on a heat gun I'd think about buying a SMD station instead and having the

I also use a variable Wagner and it has done a excellent job on small shrink wrap but a not so perfect on large wrap. The heat does not flow evenly around large wrap to shrink everything uniformly. I
John, Harbor Freight also carries the shrink wrap. http://search.harborfreight.com/cpisearch/web/search.do?keyword=heat+shrink&Submit=Go They have some small assortments, a larger (48" pieces) assort

Several years ago I bought the Milwaukee heat gun model 2000D from Home Depot. It has a pot on the back for setting heat in the range 130-1000F, so it has multiple uses. I highly recommend it. 73, Ke
You're all talking about using hot melt glue under the shrink tubing. Why not use silicone grease for the flood material ? It will stop water from seeping in and absolutely stop all corrosion. Roger
Would dielectric grease that they sell for automtive electrics be the same thing? Mark N1UK G3ZZM _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tower
Two reasons at least for me. The flooded heat shrink tubing adds a lot of mechanical strength and it too if properly applied will keep moisture out. I've never had one leak yet. Adding the grease is
