Robins electrical. Obliquely opposite KFC by Monroe Road.

I checked them and spoke to the boss man himself but he said he tied up for a few weeks and he can't even look at it *shrugs* so I'm looking for somewhere else

Palmyra too far for you?

[hindian]

Not at all

Where can I get a speed square to purchase locally?

bhagwansings started to bring them in a while now ...

[Strugglerzinc]

any competent motor rewinder should be able to do that
those probably don’t have much windings so easy to count

Anywhere you can recommend? And an average cost to do a job like that

Good day guys

Can a wood chipper handle bamboo?

And if so, where can i rent one?

[adnj]

Consumer grade shredders will probably not work for bamboo unless it's very small in diameter and still green. You may need something like a 12 inch or larger. It will be on it's own trailer and have a 50+ hp engine.

Guys

Whats a good tape to attach split loom to a rubber strain relief?

I wanna add a extra layer of pretection to some lights, but they came pre-wired with deutsch connectors, so i cant put any heat shrink as the connector is too large and the other end is even smaller.

I dont wanna use regular electrical tape as that gonna get sticky and turn to goo in a few weeks.
I have tesa tape, but i feel thats the wrong application for that.

Any recommendations?

Not quite what i had in mind

[*KRONIK*]

Red is the split loom

Blue is the area i want to secure the loom to the connector

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

The part marked in blue seems sealed already - if you want to protect the deutsch connector then use a large heat shrink tube.

I've used a balloon and rubber band or tiestrap to insulate connectors for outdoor lights already - worked pretty well. I got the idea from an old RC car that came with a balloon in the box to protect the radio receiver from getting wet. The kit referred to it as a "rubber bag".

Its to protect the wire from the lamp to the connector
I'm not worried about the deustch connector as thats very solid and waterproof
But the loom needs be secured to at least one end of the wire

[Chimera]

why large heat shrink wouldnt work?

[*KRONIK*]

why large heat shrink wouldnt work?

I dont have a size large enough to fit over the deutsch

Can you take apart the deutsch connectors and put shrink tube and then put it back together? Deutsch connectors are made to be serviceable.

[Strugglerzinc]

Silicone or epoxy inside the end of the split loom and let it set. Waterproof and mostly removable.

[Cooper]

Try 3M splicing tape. I've used it to waterproof connectors in the past. It works just like regular electrical tape but once you stretch and stick it to a surface, it will bond and harden like PVC when wrapped around anything.

No
These are made and moulded on to the harness

Fiberglass he mc

Ok

Lewwe start again
Its to secure the loom to the rubber end of the connector in the area where they meet in the orange box.

I hope this clears that up.

Also, its just an option besides regular electrical tape i need. Electrical tape gets sticky and i trying to avoid that mess

heat shrink, even better if you can order the type with the adhesive lining on the inside

I have this
But the largest size still too small to go over the rubber

[Chimera]

Go in the hardware and get a bigger size

[nismotrinidappa]

Plastic weld. Gorilla glue. Epoxy. I like the rubber band and tie strap idea though.
Btw good quality electrical tape doesn't get sticky and messy.

I suggest that you try 3M Temflex vinyl tape. It is not expensive, either. You should be able to find that at Modern Electric. It has a 200°F working temperature so you shouldn't see adhesive flow. Otherwise use Polyken vinyl, if you can find it. It has a higher working temperature.

If you go to Modern, you can ask for 1-1/2 inch or 2 inch 3:1 heat shrink. Those should work, also. You aren't weather-protecting so dual-wall heat shrink won't do anything except look sloppy.
