          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!

      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?

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

    Imagine if some brands included strain relief at the expense of thinner, sleeker cables.

        Absolutely! I hate how Apple prioritizes form over function. Definitely not only them, but everyone seems to follow whatever they 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

      whoa, you’re not kidding. I never thought of that and searched it. This page looks like an industrial supplier of different kinds. https://www.hotmelt.com/collections/hot-melt-glue-sticks
