Step 6The Rest
So now we finish the preparation for the pocket soldering station. Here, we will modify the tape, heat shrink tubing (HST), cable ties, wire, solder, and spare batteries.
Take one length of larger diameter (.25") HST and three lengths of small diameter (.125") HST, and insert the three lengths of small tube into the large tube. Cut this assembly into lengths the width of the box (hinge to unhinged side) and put them aside. You can refer to this step to create more HST bundles at any time.
Take another piece of HST, cut a larger than tape width section, and unroll a foot or two of electrical tape. Wrap this tape around the HST, and continue to roll until the tape is coiled. The goal is to make a smaller inner diameter tape roll, so HST is not required, but you should have some around from the last step. Put this aside.
Gather five to ten 5" cable ties, and trim the ends off where the ribbed section meets the smooth section. Place these to the side.
Next cut a foot of a few different color lengths of wire, as well as a foot of solder. Coil these into flat coils and hold them to the side for later.
Last, wrap each of the two spare batteries with tape over the terminals, and put these to the side.
To prepare for the next step, obtain all objects to be packed in the case including the flashlight and batteries mentioned only in the first step.
