I moved recently to Boston. When working with the telephone company engineers to install my phone service, I noticed that my network interface unit contained an unusual, non-sticky, clear, semi-solid
I would guess some form of silicone gel. As you probably know, silicones are available in a bewildering variety of forms, viscosities, stickynesses, etc. When wires were pulled out, did any adhere to
There are 3M splice kits for large wire(hooking up motors)(might also come in smaller sizes too just have not seen them yet) that use this stuff. No more layers of tape for LV applications. Just bolt
There is also some nifty stuff that is a plain tape that melts at a temperature lower than that required to shrink heat shrink. You wrap the joint in this tape (which has no adhesive), slide the heat
Yes and no. It isn't sticky or adhesive at all, but, if the object being wrapped up has too many holes that get filled, it's hard to separate, and might leave little globs behind. I don't know how st

You might want to search for Raychem Splice Encapsulation Kit's. v/r, Joe AG4BW There is also some nifty stuff that is a plain tape that melts at a temperature lower than that required to shrink heat
There is also the adhesive-filled heat shrink; this stuff is usually provided with hard-line connector kits. I have been using SPC Technology type PHS polyolefin heat shrink at work recently. It has
What happens with the adhesive when you re-open the connector? Is it a true glue, or can it be cleaned off? Re: snot. Ask your telco friends what it's really called and where it comes from, if you ge
When you cut the heat shrink off, the adhesive peels off with the heat shrink. It acts more like a conformal coating than an adhesive. As for the "snot", it's definitely a silicone-based substance; I
