A new stylish rubber outfit

During the last mending session miss A fixed a headphone cable that her rabbit had been chewing on. But the tape wrapped around the soldered wires was a bit bulky. So this time she removed the tape and used heat shrink tubing instead. In the picture you can see what it looks like (it's a bit blurred, but you get the idea).

Two thinks to remember when using shrink tubing.

1. It's a lot easier to get it on to the cable before you solder the ends together; that way you don't have to pull it over the cable connector. 
2. If you don't have a hot air gun, a lighter or candle will work fine; just don't hold the tube to close to the flame! or the plastic might melt or start to burn.
