Mr. Foxen Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 [quote name='BILL POSTERS' timestamp='1360004378' post='1963438'] If you put coppr foil or tape uner the pots, it will be earthed by the pots surely, so theres no need to solder to it. As for slugs, I tried wire and it didnt work, even tried putting a slug inside a circle of it, but it still got out. This year I,ll be trying 2 wires half an inch apart with an aa battey connected between. anybody tried that one ? [/quote] Shorting the batter with copper wire will run it out fairly quickly, need a resistor involved. Also its the joints between the copper pieces that need soldering, just in enough places its all connected, don't need to do whole seams.

BetaFunk Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 I didn't realise that there was so much love for Copper Foil Tape until i read this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno how many ohms per inch a slug measures but it must be quite high with no salt content, so there wont be much current flowing and the slug wont stay there long.
