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:

“So, instead, all too many people try an untenable middle way -- sanctifying Trump and anyone in his inner circle while trying to maintain standards on everyone else. It simply can't work. When your leaders are hateful and nihilistic then your movement becomes hateful and nihilistic. ”
