Part 2! Image 7: Slide your conduit and your shrink tube on -before- you start soldering. Or you'll feel like a fool in about 10 minutes. Use the smallest shrink tube that will fit. Image 8: Find the smallest connector that will slide onto your wire. Get the copper all the way through the metal solder ring. Overlap for a nice snug connection. Connect same color wires. Image 9: Might as well do them all at once. You may need the assistance of an extra pair of hands or maybe some clamps to hold everything in place while wielding the heat gun. Image 10: Heat gun will be applied pretty close to the target. This is no hair dryer. It will get very hot, so be careful about flammable, meltable, or injurable things too close to the plume of heat. You'll also need something heat-proof to set the heat gun on when you're done. I usually use a brick or metal baking pan. Image 11: Start on low heat. The shrink tube will shrink first. Then the color bands melt and act as a glue and also waterproofing seal. Image 12: Now we hit the high heat. Get in there and really blast it until you see a bit of shiny melted solder come from the ring and spread across the copper surfaces. You don't have to melt the entire ring. Turn the heat gun off, and set it somewhere safe. Wait for the wire to cool down. Then give it a tug. If it can't resist a bit of tugging, it isn't a good enough seal. The worst case scenario is simply cutting any failed bits off, stripping some more wire, and starting again. Images 13 and 14: Slide your shrink tube cover and hit it with some low heat. It doesn't take much. Once everything has cooled down you're done! And if this all seems overwhelming, any repair shop for appliances or computers can probably do this for you, but I have no idea how much they charge. #diy #repair #bunny #rabbit #spicyhay #chewedcord https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm2XSW1u8M2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
