Yes, I use my heat gun. Gut'em, stuff'em, pot'em.
I first grab a lead with needlenose pliers, heat it on low (or else it might burn it) 'till it melts and bubbles, pull one side, heat another side, pull it, and then push out the roll if it did not pull with the second lead.
I thought of using the colored hot glue for potting but then called the Hobby Lobby and their glue sticks are 1/4" diameter while my gun is 1/2". So I settled for my usual milky white; still looks good.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
