How to make pot condoms?

Ok, you got your soldering iron and nothing is going to hold you back, but you have no clue where to start or what to build. There were others before you with the same questions... read them first.

I knew it would not take long for someone would say something. :lol: I was going through one of my "Lets see what all I can do with Heat Shrink" phases!
Did you also notice the Pot Condoms I invented. :lol:

I think I'll start doing that. I accidentally ordered the perfect size of heatshrink to fit around the pots. 8)

Don't get me wrong I love this forum but just do not feel exactly shall we say qualified. But I have started to test the waters here some.

Those look splendid and at .03 a piece is not bad at all. See I thought I came up with this all on my own.
Well actually I did. For now mine will have to do unless there is a group buy on pot condoms. :lol:
And I doubt there are enough builders around here that would take that very seriously.

I think I get about 30 - 40 out of a yard piece of Heat Shrink and I find that the 3M double side sticky tape works much better on pots with the condoms!! :thumbsup

I've been wondering how you made those! They look real good and fortunately I haven't had any problems with pots shorting my builds to need these. But I think I miswell start on this anyways! It makes a build look a lot better! Great invention!
