  • Coil housing help please

    Hi every one I have almost finished my surf pi and I have learnt a lot . How to use a ociloscope etc
    but one thing that I'm having trouble with is potting my coil I have basket weave coil in a 28cm polo housing I bought off eBay. I think the same guy as posted them on here.
    WOULD LIKE ADVICE ON The best and lightest way potting the coil in the housing because it is in two half,s ?
    Regards Dean

    Not sure Why you want to POT IT?
    Better to just put it in the Housing with just a few dabs of hot melt glue to hold it in place.

      for pi simple pi coil it is enough if you fix it in housing with hot glue, the rest of the space can filled up with construction foam from a spray bottle
      fill all, then let it get hard and cut all away which dwells over

                I just use MEK (Methyl Ethyl Keytone) to glue ABS.
                Acetone also works.
