What happens if the tubing and electrodes are not dry before using a heat sealer?

Using a heat sealer requires that both the tubing and electrodes are completely dry for safe and effective operation. If moisture is present, it can lead to dangerous situations, such as the formation of sparks. This occurs because water can cause a short circuit in electrical systems, particularly when high heat is applied. The presence of moisture interferes with the sealing process, leading to potential equipment failure and safety hazards. Ensuring that all components are dry before sealing not only prevents sparks but also contributes to the integrity of the seal and the overall safety of the operation.
