I understand that it is good practice to use shrink tubing to cover the barrel of a crimp-on coax connector. What wattage heat gun will do a proper job of shrinking the 3/4 inch tubing covering the R

Peter... For the coaxial cable products that we produce we use a 1200 watt heat gun. The key is to use adhesive heat shrink and make sure you have heated the heat shrink to the point that the adhesiv

Sometimes I pump in some hotglue to have what I am thinking is the same effect. You dribble it in out of the hot glue gun, it goes in there, it hardens, and then when you use your heatgun to shrink

I find a propane torch to be a simpler way to do it. There are no power cords to mess with. Just keep passing the flame across the heat shrink for a few seconds at a time, and it will shrink right do

Some heatshrink is cosmetic. However the epoxy heatshrink acts as a strain relief. Many companies use it for strengthening at the connection point in addition to water proffing. However, the epoxy fi
