GLUE GUN FUN<br />
I've recently used a hot-melt glue<br />
gun and some inexpensive parts to<br />
lash up a 12-volt power source for my<br />
2-meterHT.<br />
I took two 6-volt, S-ampere-hour gel<br />
cells and wired them in series. The<br />
first applcation of the glue gun was to<br />
make the pair of batteries, side-byside,<br />
into a compact brick. A zig-zag<br />
of glue on the manufacturer's<br />
lettering worked well. Then, I ran a<br />
line of glue to fill the gap In the top<br />
surface of the "brick", and pressed<br />
the 1S-gauge two-conductor wire in .<br />
Another Nne of glue on top of the wire<br />
makes for neatness, security and<br />
strain relief. The short lengths of wire<br />
between the fuse clip and the battery<br />
terminals are also held in place and<br />
covered by a Ane of glue.<br />
I glued a 3AG-type fuse clip and a<br />
one-amp fuse to the top surface of<br />
the "brick" and even remembered to<br />
NOV'91<br />
glue a box of spares to the side.<br />
All that's left is to glue on strips of<br />
flat nylon webbing for carry handles.<br />
