Beware! I'd only recommend with an old glue gun used only for that purpose!

Otherwise I just look out for SWA kits on ebay that are near sell-by date. Got a load of 3M ones lately, £1 a pop!

They were for some obscure fibre joint, just opened up all the boxes and binned the odd y-shaped plastics.

Odd y shape plastics were for separating fibres to diff trays not that is of much use to know lol

Not all resins protect electronics there some made to conduct electricity , packet would have said normally or data sheet

I tried those said cheapo PCBs on the boat to run LED strings, all bust in the same manner you mentioned, they are just very badly designed / made I think.

You just solder dodgy lol

You're better with the LM2596 based DC-DC buck converter. Higher current capability and step down efficiency.  Around £1 though.

I suppose if buying from UK, then you'll pay a premium.  Output voltage is adjustable via pot.

 

If you only need a couple, then PM me.
