For What It's Worth
 
After making solder joints on hookups I take my hot glue gun and coat all exposed wire connections. The hot glue has worked great as an insulator, and for me it is both easier and cheaper than dipping in rubber coating insulator or heat shrink tubing.

That sounds like a great idea! Would hot glue not also work equally as well on the connectors when we have to use servo extensions, rather than heat shrink tubing or tying them with dental floss??

Having said that, how can I ever forget that; "Experience is a hard teacher. She always gives the test first and the lesson some time later!"

Yes I am sure it would work great, now why didn't I think of that. I can think of several place to use it right now. THANKS
