Make your own solder sleeves is a great easy to follow soldering tutorial showing you how you can produce your own heat shrink solder sleeves.
This method is taken from my ( Soldering Wires Together ) video , so if you would like to see more methods on joining wires please check it out on my KZhead channel.

Really smart. Helps if you're either out of sleeves or want to save a few dollars.
Hi , thank you for watching the video and commenting , much appreciated. These sleeves really do work and are so simple . If you run out of proper sleeves they are a good option . Thanks again , take care 👍
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
Hi , thank you. If you are stuck without any proper solder sleeves this is definitely another option . Thanks again for all of your support , very much appreciated 👍
The trick with the Alusheet is sophisticated. ;}
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated 👍
What an excellent idea ! I often use the ready made ones, never even thought of making my own ones… Thanks for sharing !👏
Hi , thank you. Quite a simple idea but if you don't have any ready-made ones and have some spare heatshrink very easy to make your own . Glad you found it useful , thanks again for watching 👍
Always a pleasure ! 🤝
Hi , thank you 👍
Watching here sir sending full support salamat sa pag share
Hi , thank you for your comment, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video and good luck with all of your soldering projects. Take care and thanks again 👍
Brilliant thanks again for sharing.
Hi , thank you. I showed this method recently in a longer video I posted on KZhead ( Soldering Wires together 6 Great ways ) . I thought this is such a great idea that if people don't want to watch that longer video they can just watch this great simple method on its own . Also hopefully if people enjoy this clip they might want to learn 5 other great methods and so watch the longer version .Thank you for your support , much appreciated 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 This is the first video I've seen from you for ages, I'll have a look now but you're not the only creator I follow whose videos don't appear on my feed. It's a pain in the ass because I follow people for a reason. Thanks again though.
Hi , I've posted a few videos in the last couple of months . I'm not prolific I must admit but I try and get a video out every few weeks. I've got lots of new stuff planned it's just getting the time to do them . Thank you for your comments and watching the videos , all the best 👍
@@mrsolderfix3996 I'll have a prowl through your channel an see what I've missed. I follow a few solder/electronic channels and you're one of the most relevant to the stuff I do and you've got a good way of explaining things so looking forward to more. Thanks again. 👍
Great apprauch... Great Britain 🇬🇧, Thanks v much indeed......
Hi , thank you for your support of my channel , very much appreciated. Always good to hear from you . All the best 👍
Brilliant, as always.
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. This was just a method i took from one of my other videos ( soldering wires together 6 ways ) I love these little sleeves so much just thought it would be good to show them on their own merit. All the best and thanks again 👍
another tip if you want more secure fit, use a piece of hot glue in each end then shrink the tube
Hi , thank you for your comment , much appreciated. You are correct and it's a good point . When you buy the ready made ones they will normally always have a bead of glue at each end but for some applications this isn't really needed . That's why they do normal heat shrink and glue lined heat shrink . Different jobs require different strengths of sleeving .Thanks again for your comment and for watching the video 👍
As a soldering beginner: what would the usecase of these be over just soldering the wires together and then putting the heatshrink sleeve over it and shrink it down? Just that it's faster because it does everything in one step?
Are you using a special kind of tube that can take the Heat required to melt solder so that the plastic doesn't just burnaway, the starter I have needs 200 degrees Celsius
Hi , thank you for your comment. I used RNF100 Raychem sleeving ( high temp ) , to make these sleeves . Think I mentioned it in previous comments but I may be wrong . Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
Does the other video describe those clear plastic sleeves. Like where to purchase? The video was amazing too
Hi , thank you for your comments. In the longer video I do mention places to purchase all sleevings etc . If in UK or Europe try Farnell or RS Components and if in America I would try Mouser or Digikey . There are other places if you Google search but these are the main companies worldwide selling to the electronic industry . RNF-100 is the clear sleeving used in this shorter video , coming in many different sizes , again try the places I mention for this . All other heatshrink etc is readily available at these same distributers. The solder in these sleeves was just standard solder . Depending on your needs it can easily be done with low melt , leaded or lead free , just have to adjust heat gun to suit. Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
What melting tem for the solder you use? And melting temp for the shrink tube? And what temp did you have 9n the heat gun? That would be good if you mentioned in the video to.
Hi , thank you for your comment. The homemade sleeves in this video used a RNF-100 clear sleeving with low melt solder inside . Normally I would melt the sleeving on its own at about 170 degrees centigrade but with the solder inside I upped the temperature to about 220. Most sleeves will melt between 200 and 300 degrees centigrade but you will need a connector on the end of your heart gun which you place the sleeve in and heat is then reflected back . I didn't have one of these so just used silver foil behind which does a decent job . Without either of these you will struggle to melt the solder. Hope that helps , thanks again 👍
Wouldn't the flux stuck in there cause corrosion in the long term?
Hi , the flux inside the solder is a dry flux which generally gets burned away as soon as the solder melts meaning in this case no corrosion issues in the future . If I ever add external flux to any soldering I'm doing , sometimes even aiding the soldering of wires together I always use SMFL200D , a non corrosive rework flux . Hope that helps , thanks for your comment 👍
Where do you get the clear sleevng from I can't find it
