Subject: Heat Shrink

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...>

I ∗do not∗ recommend using anything BUT a heat gun to shrink the tubing. All
of the suggestions
sound like potential damaging to other components.

For info on my fav, the Alpha Fit Gun-3:

www.alphawire.com

click on product catalog, go to page 125. Then, click on the Distributors
tag on the left. Type in your state
and look at the choices.

It is true recent kits didn't inclue heat shrink on the panel wire. But I
always use it on pots AND switches
on assembled modules. Look for more heat shrink in future kits! The size I
use is 3/32" polyfin 2:1 shrink.

Side note: When I first was doing MOTM system design, I got a legal pad and
wrote across the top of the page:
WHAT BOB MOOG DIDN"T HAVE.

#1 thing I thought of: heat-shrink tubing!
