Kabrina 147 Posted November 12, 2011 There are actually "shrink tubes" you can purchase. They slide onto your wires, twist the copper wires together, slide the tubes down over the splice and then use a hair dryer or heat gun to make it constrict and set the splice. I used it in the Gloucester. Quote Link to comment
mininecessities 303 Posted November 12, 2011 Wow :o Kabrina thanks!! I will have to go get some. I have a few broken lights I picked up at a yard sale............cool! Again Thank you!! oh ps I guess that insulates the wire right ? so you d on't get shocked? Quote Link to comment
KathieB 6,127 Posted November 12, 2011 Right .. the shrink tube is a substitue for the electrical tape. You just have to be sure that the tubing covers the entire section of raw wires. Quote Link to comment
mininecessities 303 Posted November 15, 2011 That will be so much nicer! Would I have to buy them at a mini shop or will most electrical stores carry something that small? Radio Shack maybe? Quote Link to comment
otterine 4,559 Posted November 15, 2011 I just bought some of the liquid electrical tape but haven't tried it yet. I'll give it a whirl in the next couple of days and let you know how it works. The shrink tubes are great, but they are expensive if you have a lot of wiring to do. Quote Link to comment
