Old single sockets, unsheathed cpc.

Well Geordie I suppose you could solder it if you really wanted to, but by the time you've messed about cutting floorboards, warming up your soldering iron, stripping the cable, cutting the heat shrink, putting the heat shrink over the sheath and then the individual insulation, soldered a new bit of wire on, shrunk the heat shrink and put the floorboard back together, you might as well have pulled in one fresh new continuous bit.

You missed a bit out there ......... The bit where you solder the joint then have to un-solder it because you've forgotten to put the heat shrink sleeve on first ...........

Just cut the heatshrink length ways and then wrap tape round it

I wish you'd stop giving my trade secrets away.

DON'T FLICK SOLDER.....it flecking hurts

especially if your wearing shorts and some drips on legs, when it cools

you don't know the feeling of a burn till you at least feel this, especially if your unlucky enough for it to stick to hair

PAH!! ......... what a wimp!! You'll never be a Geordie - we use molten solder as a mouthwash!!

Or cut just after solder, slide heatshrink round and crimp back together?
