It is really good for marine wiring and vibration prone situations (such as robotics). -Chuck- __________________________________________________________________________ Chuck Rice <spam_OUTChuckTakeThisOuTWildRice.com>

Don't have the catalog with me at the moment, but it's in there. Not cheap, though. Seems to me it was more than a dollar a foot. Reg

For applications where you need the hermetic seal simply use a hot melt glue gun to put a thin overcoat of hot melt glue over the area where the heat shrink will be. Then put the heat shrink over the glue & shrink in the normal matter. The glue will remelt and flow as the heat shrink shrinks resulting in an encapsulate. -Dan 73, Dan Welch .....w6dfwKILLspam@spam@qsl.net

Anyone that sells GC electronics supplies has the stuff. Digikey handles that line.

They use several id's of the stuff. It's about $5USD per foot or so. The stuff for (i think) 6ga wire will not quite close by its self, it needs a squeeze with a finger and presto, you're done. (It's what I use to stablilize my deans connectors on my rc gear.) The size for 10ga or 12 ga wire will close up at the end. Oh, this stuff stays kinda thick, so I'm sure the inertia of it will be on the order of 5 min or so. 'Grif' N7IVS
