Sliding the potting collar over the soldered wires
Note: Consider wrapping tape around the joint where the
plastic collar and moveable metal locking collar meet for
protection against resin that may spill during the process.
9. Mix the epoxy compound to pot the connector. Cold weather
conditions may prevent the epoxy from curing properly. If this
occurs, mix the epoxy in the vehicle.
10. Centering the telephone cable in the plastic collar, pour the
epoxy compound into the collar.
Pour slowly to avoid air pockets.
Pour in only a little at a time to allow the resin time to flow
around the wires and completely fill the connector.
Note: The final potted connector should have a bead of
resin rising slightly above the top of the collar, appearing
slightly overfilled.
11. Use 3M
Linerless Rubber Splicing Tape to secure the cable to
prevent it from moving during the curing process. Wrap the
tape around the entire connector/cable assembly and about 1
inch up the telephone cable beyond the assembly.
