15. Once the wax has solidified, push the caps up to
the knots in the wires and coil the wires into the
housings as shown in Figure 2.6-12. Make sure
that the caps will fit on with the coiled wire in place,
and then remove them again in preparation for the
final wax pour. Keep the coiled wires away from
the top edge of the housing, where they could be
pinched.
16. Carefully fill one thruster housing to the very top
with wax, creating a positive meniscus as shown
in Figures 2.6-13 and 2.6-14.
17. You may wish to hold a paper towel in
your hands, over the cap, as you
perform this step, to capture any
squirting wax (see Figure 2.6-15). Now
quickly, but carefully, press the cap onto
the thruster housing, leaving as little air
inside as possible. Be careful not to
pinch the wires. Watch out for wax
squirting out the hole in the cap!
Discard the paper towel, if used. Put the
potting holder with this filled housing in a
safe place to cool for about 10 minutes,
with the wires extending straight out of
the lid (not down to the side). Try
not to
move the wires again until the wax has
cooled and solidified. Also wait until
then to wipe off any excess wax that may remain on the sides of the housing.
