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:
