I need help making a cable
« on: Tue, 15 February 2022, 21:09:17 »
I bought some techflex and some paracord so that i can try and make a custom cable. I already sleeved it and soldered the parts in place but the coils don't feel tight. I used a heat gun and it didn't work and I'm wondering if I can just use the oven and if so, how hot should it be? and for how much time should I leave it in there?

Personally, I hate coiled cables, but here is the thread:

https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=82202.msg3039324#msg3039324
"We are on the precipice of signing an agreement to advance talks with Iran that preserves the good parts of former President Barack Obama’s Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) while amplifying its flaws.
Mr. Obama came to an agreement that did not involve America’s most precious treasure, the lives and limbs of our soldiers.  The 1.7 billion dollars of frozen Iranian assets released by Obama pales in comparison to the 300 billion being floated as a rebuilding fund.
So far, speculation that Iran will be free in the future to continue its nuclear program is the opposite of Trump’s stated goal for the war and in direct opposition to what Mr. Obama negotiated.
