tons of heat shrink tubing with hot glue inside of them to seal things up

November 19, 2023 at 6:36 am #282656As long as the smallest diameter heat shrink tube that just fits over the terminal is used, the heat shrink tube works great. No need to remove and reinstall the terminal.
Regarding the liquid electrical tape, that works too. It’s just a matter of preference. Just don’t try using both together. The heat from the heat gun will melt the liquid electrical tape.
