I cut some coax into three foot pieces using the first one cut as a pattern for the rest, to make jumpers.Before going to the doctor I made up one jumper. When I came back I had a spoon full of peanut butter (creamy in case that matters). I made up another jumper. I put this jumper with the one I made up before going to the doctor. I ck'd both jumpers for shorts, cleaned them up with acetone and sandpaper. Now here comes the strange part. I picked up the jumpers and one was a foot longer than the rest. I measured the short ones and they are three feet, the long one is four feet. What happened, did I stretch the jumper when cleaning it with the acetone? Did the dawg pull on it while I was at the doctors? I'm confused!

Be careful with cleaning your coax connectors with the acetone not to get it on your coax insulation. The solvent will make your insulation solvent.

Wasn't an eye doctor. 1/2 gallon might be enough, what I would do is wrap the coax up and put it in a bucket and poor the stuff over it, make sure it is covered with the stuff. Come back in about 6 hours and ck. the length. I don't think it was the acetone, but could have been. (Everyone else reading this don't do this) or you will need coax also!
