What do I use to hot snot connections in place? I'd prefer not to use hot glue guns and I'd like to know what the professionals use (dark blue or red stuff that is often in Daves tear downs)? I don't want to super glue or araldite either
Thanks in advance
Well, the snarky answer is that you
must use a hot glue gun to hot snot something into place, since “hot snot” is a synonym for hot melt glue, and thus no other type of adhesive can qualify!
Realistically, silicones are the typical adhesives used, but they must be neutral curing types, since you don’t want the acetic acid curing type releasing acetic acid onto or near electronic components.
For wires, I prefer to use tape or zip ties, etc. To reinforce stress-prone wire attachments, heat-shrink tube.
