Difficulty Level

Tools/Supplies Needed:

• Liquid Electrical Tape made by Permatex #85121
• Self-Fusing Silicone Tape made by Permatex #82112
• adhesive lined heat shrink tube
• heat gun

Procedure:

Liquid Electrical Tape:

• ensure the product has been mixed
• use the supplied brush to apply it to the exposed joint
• a minimum of two coats is recommend
• wait 10 minutes in between coats
• allow for a minimum of 4hrs to dry
• this product can be applied to soldered joints, butt connectors, male and female spade connectors either if they are connected together or fit onto a stationary connection, screwed on connections, etc

Self-Fusing Silicone Tape:

• try holding the opposite end of the wire stationary, either fastened to something or having an assistant which makes the application procedure much easier
• use a razor to cut off a length of tape you'll need
• apply a 2/3 overlap when wrapping the tape around the exposed conductor
• the tape will stretch up to 3 times it's length
• the greater the stretch will result in a greater bond
• takes about 24hrs to completely fuse together
• this tape can be applied over various connections such as soldered joints, butt connectors, male and female spade connectors that are connected together, etc

Adhesive lined heat shrink tube:

• pick an appropriate diameter sized shrink tube for the exposed conductor
• cut an appropriate length, be sure it overlaps onto the existing insulation
• use a heat gun to warm the heat shrink which will make it shrink around the connection and soften up the adhesive
• once satisfied, allow it too cool
• unfortunately this product is only limited to either soldered connections between two ends of wire or butt connectors
