Stus-List Cordless heat gun for heat-shrink tubing

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cordless heat-gun to shrink the tubing  / melt glue on 12V electrical crimp connections?  I want cordless as my boat is normally on a mooring. I've come across a couple on the internet, but it's hard to judge if they are any good. By the way - big thank yo

A disposable lighter works just fine for that. I have even used a match. Bill Bina On 3/28/2015 6:04 AM, Damian Greene via CnC-List wrote: Does anyone have a recommendation for a cordless heat-gun to shrink the tubing / melt glue on 12V electrical crimp connections? I want cordless as my boat

If you’re looking for a controllable heat source without any AC at hand, try a (good) creme brulé torch Annoys the hell

A BIC “grill” lighter for < $3 from your local CVS / Walgreens / grocery store works very well – just keep the flame moving… From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Damian Greene via CnC-List Sent: Saturday, March 28, 2015 6:05 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject:

Re: Stus-List Cordless heat gun for heat-shrink tubing

I picked up a portable torch.  It came with a few attachments to use a suffering iron and different flame configurations.  It's refillable with butane.  Basically a big lighter on steroids.  Works great.  I can crimp a connector, drop a little solder on it and then heat shrink it. Danny. From

Re: Stus-List Cordless heat gun for heat-shrink tubing

Skip the solder. If a connection overheats due to resistance, the solder can melt and drip to short to other wires or components. The other reason not to solder wires in a boat is that the solder wicks down the wire a little, creating a stiff point that will eventually crack in half from moveme

I have a suffering iron too. For clothes. At least, that’s how much I like it. Rich Knowles Nanaimo, BC INDIGO LF38 For sale in Halifax, NS. On Mar 28, 2015, at 05:18, Danny Haughey via CnC-List mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: I picked up a portable torch. It came with a few attachmen

I didn’t realize I’d start such a lengthy discussion. Sorry for the late reply. Work… I like the EchoCharge unit for the following reasons: When you combine batteries for charging using an automatically actuated combiner, or by manual switching, all the batteries combined will receive the same

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft (Edd Schillay)

Rich, Great explanation but don't the other combiners turn off once the starting battery is greater than or equals to the house? As was pointed out to me the echo-charge is simply a voltage follower with a limit of 14.4v. At least one relay style combiner I've seem has an adjustable high voltage

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft (Edd Schillay)

It also says when the output voltage reaches 14.4 volts, it reduces the output current to maintain a float condition. There’s also a curve in the owner’s manual that relates difference in voltage between banks to output amperage. When the voltage difference is low, the amperage is high and it de

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft (Edd Schillay)

Wouldn't a relay also maintain float? The relays aren't supposed to turn on until the house battery is full (~13.5v) so when the relay closes the starting battery is actually to largest "load" on the charger. Right? Josh On Mar 28, 2015 1:42 PM, "Peter Fell via CnC-List" wrote: > It also say

Re: Stus-List New Wiring Diagram Draft (Edd Schillay)

Josh, The charger/alternator will start the charging at the higher voltage (14.4 ) and only begins to ramp it down when the acceptance of the batteries reduces the current requirements according to the programmed profile. With a voltmeter you will see it start at that voltage almost without regard

Paul, Thanks. I already put a vent in the new hatch so I'm committed to the Bomar.  Will do that if there is a next time. It would have been worth the extra $$. I'll cut up to the line with a carbide grit blade in a jig saw then finish from the top with a flush cut router bit that Fibreglast se

Re: Stus-List New foredeck hatch

I used a drum sander chucked into a drill after the jig saw, it does a great job of cleaning up the edges and is way easier to control than a router. Jim Watts Paradigm Shift C&C 35 Mk III Victoria, BC On 28 March 2015 at 15:13, O'Keeffe Thomas via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > Paul
