Fun with Fun-Tak
1 Attachment(s)
Found a good use for that adhesive putty known as fun-tak or BlueStick to
hold through hole parts in place when soldering them. I've also used it on occasion for a temporary High voltage insulator before doing final potting. The stuff is normally sold for putting posters and the like up on painted walls without damage to the surfaces. http://www.doityourself.com/invt/7770613 http://www.dap.com/product_details.aspx?product_id=46 Also Stik-Tak, a similar product sold under the Duco name http://www.itwconsumer.com/catalog.aspx?prodID=113 |

Would never have thought of the temporary HV insulator use. Gives a whole new meaning to surface mount :-) Ed |

I often would ball up a paper towel to hold the through hole components while I solder them in place. |

Found a good use for that adhesive putty known as fun-tak or BlueStick to hold through hole parts in place when soldering them. I never tried it for through hole parts, but I have used it in very small blobs underneath SMD parts, and also on parts mounted on DIP headers. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. |

Whooosh! ;-) Sounds like fun. What happens if you put it in the microwave? But seriously, what's in Silly Putty that conducts and reacts? Is the silicone responsible? -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. |

Come on Tom. The comments were about meatplow playing with silly putty, and the fact it went right over your head. :) OTOH, it DOES pick up ink from newspaper that may be carbon based. -- Service to my country?

The comments were about meatplow playing with silly putty, and the fact it went right over your head. :) Well whoosh can mean other things, like sudden conflagration. :) On a similar note, I've used my old Gilbert Erector Set on occasion...for parts and for making special clamps and jigs. OTOH, it DOES pick up ink from newspaper that may be carbon based. Definitely only clean, pure, silly putty should be used. -- Reply in group, but if emailing add another zero, and remove the last word. |

Don't let Dimbulb find out that you have an "Erector Set" :) OTOH, it DOES pick up ink from newspaper that may be carbon based. Definitely only clean, pure, silly putty should be used. I agree, 100%! It would be insanely silly to do otherwise! ;-) -- Service to my country? Been there, Done that, and I've got my DD214 to prove it. Member of DAV #85. Michael A. Terrell Central Florida |

I never tried it for through hole parts, but I have used it in very small blobs underneath SMD parts, and also on parts mounted on DIP headers. I tried the tiny bit of fun-tak under smd parts when I first started working with them. Found out later that the solder paste alone did a fine job of holding the parts in place until the board was put in the oven. Then surface tension took over at melt temperature (and if everything was right) pulled the parts to the center of their pads. If was not right, tombstoning and rework. The right size pad and in relation to the device is important as is the thermal profiles. |
