    That's a neat trick, I'll have to put that into practice. I could imagine also wrapping some masking tape around it as a mold to allow for longer heating and lower viscosity.

    I've been thinking about buying a glue gun but have not had a use for it until recently. I've never used one before and will see what happens when I get it.
    Thanks for the hot air gun idea for reflow, but just to add a point that it may be a good idea to mask around any locking tabs on electrical connectors beforehand.

    I have used blue painter’s tape to form molds but not tried to reflow them. Interesting idea.
