For an affordable press, I found a small heat press on sale that works great for books.

Totally, I read this article about how even simple things like folk songs change over time. People forget a verse or smooth out a weird lyric, and after a few decades the original meaning is just gone. It happens everywhere, not just with big historical events. Makes you wonder what else we've quietly corrected or simplified out of existence. What's something you've noticed that got polished away?

Remember my buddy Dave who had the same headache on his King Air? He swore by that coax sealant tape, the kind that fuses into a solid rubber block. Wrapped it tight, then a layer of good quality electrical tape over the top. Seems like overkill but his fix held up for years, even through some nasty de-icing fluid. He said the key was cleaning the connector with contact cleaner until it was totally bone dry before wrapping anything.
