This guy gonna poop his pants when he discovers heat-shrink tubing.

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

So it was you who pooped my pants at the prom...

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!

Don't let your dreams stay dreams.

Yeah I guess heat-shrink would do the job most of the time. But for when you have connectors that are too big to fit the right heat-shrink over or want to splice more than 2 wires together and want a waterproof seal over them this could be useful.

Why not use injectable silicone instead of hot glue though?

[–] Droechai@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Hot glue is cheap, easy to handle and easier to clean away is my guesses... I would definitely try a silicone gun
