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.
 
We were on about the vaseline having an adverse affect on the cable.....if it's a help to fix the pot, surely it would have more effect than a start to strip.

Personally, I've never had problems with pot screwing without gel, never even crossed my mind to use it.

Same here, I would be worried about contaminating the terminating.
 
Old spark I worked with for a while drilled his joystripper (and mine) out with imperial sized drill bits - on the 2l 1.5 and 2l2.5 holes....cant remember the size he actually used but I can say I still have it today (about 30 years later)....and it strips a treat even with "slight" kinks in the cable. Never used any lubricant for making off ends. Never let anything near my ends that would threaten to introduce moisture of any kind....tis the way I was taught lol.
Oh the joys of rolling out 100m of pyro ready to straighten up and surface clip.....fantastic jobs. As said FP 200 is the very poor relation.
