| What's that "tube" used to isolate component bodges? |

Hello all! I always see that component bodges on PCBs are often isolated with some kind of tubing. See attachments. Is that something teflon tubing to better resist to soldering or what? There is a precise product to use? |

Thinwall 1/8" teflon tubing is sort of standard for this. It resists soldering heat and is impervious to moisture. |

thanks a lot! |
