I had not heard of this before so I thought I would pass the tip on
I was looking for a way to keep 1-wire DS18B20 sensors as thin as possible to make sensors for the panels. I came across this
I fully wired one (6 wires) and then dipped it in the tin.
I measured a dipped one against a non dipped and the registered the same. So it looks quite good.
If any one finds a cheap source for the stuff I would be interested!

Looks similar to that stuff you use for stopping the ends of ropes fraying. That's not cheap either. £7.50 for 4 of those American ounces.  |

You could go here.... http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Plastidip-Ltd/Let.html_I think they are the distributors and they have a large tin (237ml) for £2 more than the small one (about 118ml) |

Hi
OMC (Johnson/Evinrude) outboard engine manufacturers supply it for their engines. Probably quite expensive from them. I think they call it "liquid neoprene". Have used it on many things over the years on outboard engines and boats. Haven't had any problems and has lasted well. Have used it for sealing ends of wiring looms and wiring connections etc.

I think I would dip it further up the outer insulation if I was you.
Looks a bit short / weak spot.

Anyone found a maximum temperature for it?
i.e. will it do 125 degrees and hopefully a fair bit more?

slightly off topic, but what 1-wire sensor could we use on the panel (to survive stagnation)? or combination of 1-wire and covert and PT1000 sort of thing?

I've had bog-standard 20's survive a stagnation ( or two  ). It's something we need to subject halfbees to  |
