      I have a fraying cable that is usba on both ends, I can’t fit the appropriate size shrink tube over the connector. I need this product

        Try to see if you can find some heat shrink tubing with extra shrink ratio so you can use a bigger one that fits and still have the result you desire.

          For all those wondering, extra shrink ratio is real - it’s not just a made up thing, no judgements should be passed, some things just shrink more than others and that’s a fact of nature.

        Don’t do that. It’s the worst. Someone did that to me once and it’s incredibly hard to convince others that it wasn’t YOU that pooped YOUR pants. Such a mean thing to do!

      Hence why he used veg oil the second time.

      Interesting project. Can’t think of anything where adhesive shrink wrap would not do a better job.

      But worth remembering for odd projects.

    I’m positive I saw a purpose-built stick out there for use in this application. like you can run it through any regular glue gun but you get rubber out the other end
