Hi all,
          I'd like some advice please. I am wanting to finish my hi-V
scope probe off by filling the tube. I thought about the ease with 
which hot-melt runs and thought, yeah - polyethylene. I have a large
collection of old copier toner HDPE bottles. I tried melting a few in 
a pot to pour into the probe tube. I reckon at around 180 degrees C
in the oven the stuff was on the verge of burning but still nowhere 
near molten. Does anyone have some advice on either how I can do this
or a suggestion for an alternative filling? I could use wax I guess.

Malcolm
