I am not lying if I say I have terminated thousands of ends, seriously thousands, and I blow the dust out of everyone, I rewired a childrens home 20 years ago in pyro and it is still working fine today lol

It doesn't dry out, it cures. It certainly isn't made from water. Once sealed, how would it dry out, how many bottles of unopened water do you see drying out?
Its not like breathing on a mirror where the condensation dries almost immediately, the magnesium powder soaks up any such condensation and would be held there by said compound - as small as it may be. In my book, blowing into a pot is just a no go when making off micc ends.
but as said all down to good practice, and am a little surprised that E54 doesn't support that.
You probably saw one of my first attempts Trev!! Got a right ear-bashing for it... no shroud, pot not straight and screwed on to far...
btw - I've a spare one of these if MDJ can't set you up...
Edit - didn't realize the pic was that big, i'ts only for 20mm pots
just need a megger now.lolthanks for the offer of a spare potting tool guys, the local wholesaler's are very good and he has managed to get me one at a reasonable price.
£35 inc vat etc.
not bad considering I only spoke to him about it tuesday after 5pm
just need a megger now.lol
no you're better with a battery one,mind you I 've got a wind up one somewhere if that's what you want.lolis this a windup XD
Take it to work and IR it mate, just out of interest.

I did take the other one to work and did ir it, got about 60Mohm.
to be honest I didnt cut any off coil or try to get any moisture out of it first before I made end of so who knows.
this one should have a lot higher reading?
it was a little odd because it fluctuated from 50mohm to > 299 at 500v. im guessing batteries in tester could be low because didnt get constant reading

or there may be a slight bit of moisture there and the IR test is drying it out, thus readings will rise as you keep the tester on it.
The correct method of IR testing a new circuit/build is by applying the test voltage for a minimum of 1 minute... Most electricians, will if you're lucky IR test for 10 to 20 seconds. lol!!
thanks for that, I have never heard anyone mention that and nothing at college etc.
Tut. tut!! They don't seem to be teaching much at all at college these days....
Bore hole, ..bore hole for what??
