How to organize heat shrink tubing?

[Rich Grise]

I think it was a serious suggestion. There was nothing in the
requirements about having to use it for anything.. just storage.

OK, but isn't that kind of like storing plaster by pouring water into
the bag so it hardens? You still have 10 pounds of plaster, in a
convenient form for storage, but you won't do much spackling with it. ;-)

Cheers!

If you really did this, the heat-shrink would already be shrunk, and so
it wouldn't be any use as heat-shrink again.

Regular Heat shrink can be re-used any time. All one needs to do is
heat it up, and while hot, re-expand it, and hold it in expanded form
until cool again.

Of course, the multi-layered types would not follow this rule.

Come on! Michael and I can't be the _only_ vets who frequent this
NG, can we?

(I have a 214 on record somewhere, and two, count'em, two Honorable
Discharges - I got out in '72, but then re-upped for the bennies. ;-) )

They outlawed "bennies" years ago. Your remark, however, accounts for
much of your behavior.

I'm guilty, too. Nothing like Michael, though. I spent the middle of
the Vietnam War, '67 -- '69, in the Med, staying out of dark alleys
(Communist sympathizers loved to catch sailors and marines in vulnerable
places, and occasionally succeeded).

Oh, and learning Italian, courting my to-be wife, translating for the
shore patrol, driving and translating for couriers and officers in
transit ... and, of course, occasionally working on the missile guidance
system and its test equipment.

At the end of my six year enlistment, the Navy and I agreed that we
weren't made for each other. And even then, some of my officers tried
to get me to reenlist! Go figure.

--I'd never heard that you could recover heated heat shrink. Was that a
joke? I really thought I'd tried stretching some without success.

You can stretch it cold as well. You risk tearing it unless you use
round tines to stretch it with.

Also, if "recovering" already shrunk tubing, you have to be even more
careful of tearing when it is hot.

And a bottle of Sensitol too I hope.

<cough> There is a special lubricant that is supposed to evaporate
after use, but that's not the correct name (at least for electrical
applications).

Really? What about the current $20,000 enlistment bonus? What do
you call that?

I don't think I ever mentioned this before, but I should have.
I for one really appreciate what you have done for our country.
Thank you.

Thank you, too. This sig file was written to remind an online
stalker that he couldn't interfere with my volunteer work for other
Veterans. Since then, it has caused a lot of idiots to complain, which
gives me a chance to enlighten them about Veteran's issues. As long as
that is happening, it will be used. There are currently over 30,000
homeless Veterans, some with terminal diseases. There are problems like
Walter Reed, and our CONgress practicing medicine by telling the VA what
health problems they can, and can not treat.

Me too. Hear Hear.

thank you, Win. BTW, I've gathered up the sample electrolytics, but I
can't find my ESR meter at the moment. I can mail them to you as soon
as I can find it and give you some sample values, or I can send you some
now, and more later, with the test results.

I don't miss you, and you're the biggest joke around.

Liar. It had nothing to do with "an online stalker". You started
adding it to your posts right after the kooks in auk began taunting me
about my service record, and what is contained on MY DD214.

You are one of those follow the flock retards, even when you don't know
what the **** is going on.

You are the liar, and endlessly repeating your pathetic lies won't
make them true, jackoff.

Posted Sept. 8, 2006 with the same sig file. Choke on your pathetic
lies, loser.

is the asshole who threatened a volunteer at my church by telephone, and
he's almost as crazy as you. he claims to have called the Florida State
Attorney General and Sheriff's Office, as well.


BTW, how's that lobotomy working out for you? I still think they
should have used a pair of blasting caps up your nose, rather than wear
out all those diamond tipped saw blades on your thick skull.

I have the various sizes of heat shrink tubing in labeled clear plastic
zipper bags.

I have the various sizes of heat shrink tubing in labeled clear plastic
zipper bags.

I take various sizes which came in plastic bags, and take them out as I need
them, and throw them all together in one cardboad container, so I can quickly
take the size out that I need. Its easier for me to see exactly what size I
need all bunched together.
