Newb question on ribbon cables with in a console

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi all!

I've had to do an emergancy repair on a soundcraft series two console.

I have basically taken a full 8 channel board and replaced it with an exact board from a different (but another series two).

The console works fine now, but I noticed that the ribbon cables were also held in by glue blobs.

What time of glue should I be using? It looks like hot glue from a gun, but I thought I'd check as I don't want to damage the board.

What you all think?

All the best,

Ollie.

	It will be hot glue which also has the advantage that the plug can be removed by heating with a hot air gun.
