Morning guys, bit of nostalgia for you vets.
Wiring up an MOT bay, went to see the excavation so we can draw up the plan, they pulled some pyro out that was buried 1.5m deep, and was amongst a news paper that had a 1970's date on it.
Gave it a whirl on the tester for banter, still returning <199 Ohms on insulation test between live conductors!
Been battered by the jcb as well.
doesn't happen, i got some ends and a bit of cable and gave it ago.Going to get grief over this, what happened to learning to work with MICC on the job?
A pity is thatdoesn't happen, i got some ends and a bit of cable and gave it ago.
i knew how to do it from college and online etc
I would compare it to doing your driving test. They teach you how to use the tools and make one off at college. But you learn how to do it properly and efficiently on the job! I did a day of making up about 25 4m lengths of pyro and glanding both ends. The tools at college were abit pap and they didn't have any vaseline...Going to get grief over this, what happened to learning to work with MICC on the job?

and how many explosions have happened by people dropping inspection lamps in to pits?
Vaseline baby!
This is where you all lay in to me now!
When using the sheath stripping tool i was shown to put a dab of vaseline on to get it started! Possibly only necessary if the tool is getting blunt however it definitely seemed to help!
Bet he went through blades at the same rate he smoked...
The potting compound itself is oil based, hence the low insulation reading on first fix.
Vaseline and oil, are both messy and again don`t help readings. But will save the blade.
Best method I`ve seen and use, is candle wax. Just a plain old candle rubbed over the cutting area, no mess, helps cutting reserves blade.
