    A few notes.
    rosin, not resin.
    When doing parallel wires, such as zip cord, I’ve found it valuable to offset the joints so that the connectors don’t make as big a bump.
    Wago now makes an in-line connector to extend wires in less space.
    I found a kit which has the in-line solder splices with a mini heat gun included.
    You implied, but I want to stress, to read instructions on everything you buy. A great idea to save problems and enhance safety.

    An additional tip for the last method (solder and cover with shrink tube). If the application is where the splice might get wet (marine applications, trailers, exterior of cars & trucks, etc) you should use the shrink tube that has an internal lining of hot glue. When you heat the shrink tube the hot glue will also become liquid and then seal the splice from external elements. Because it is hot _glue_ it should stick to the wire insulation preserving the water-tight seal when being bent.

    I like your method shown at the 3:00 mark.
    Quick and dirty and I don't have to use a soldering iron.
    One note: When splicing a two-wire cable, don't put the two splices side by side.
    Stagger them a little so there is no chance for wires to short together.

    Soldering wire by itself is a violation of the NEC article 250.8 (B) "Connection devices or fittings that depend solely on solder shall not be used". I am starting to use Wagos more and more, they cost a little more, but are more convenient and save a lot of time, especially working on something with short wires.

    @mrcryptozoic817 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I always do the last method but when fixing something like a chewed shopvac cord, I cut the cord so that both wires don't splice side by side.
    This is hard to describe but here goes...For example, the segment on your left has a long black and short white. And the right side has a short black and long white. This means the two splices aren't side by side. That way, when I tape it up, there isn't a lump in the cord to catch on anything.

    Wago, "the fastest and easiest way". Sounds good to me, everyone likes fast and easy. However they way they look seems to suggest they are intended for hidden installations. Not primarily intended to repair exposed, external power cords on for example household appliances. Could and should there not be something akin to a Wago connector but more aesthetically pleasing and suitable for repairing exposed power cords?

    My favorite for joining (x2) wires is (x1) straight/in-line wago connector to hold the wires, then adhesive heat shrink to weather-proof/accident-proof the connector. That way it's strong, removable by cutting the heatshrink, and can't pull out as easily or accidentally as just the having the wago connector holding everything itself.

    When you are heating the wire do not do it for too long or it will literally melt the plastic covering also it will shrink the shrink wrap wherever you have it at that moment before using it.😂 my advice.. jus sprinkled solder where you can and kinda rub it in best you can. Dont do the hold heat on the wire for for a prolonged time hoping to effect the solder on the other side.. it will melt the plastic🤝🤝🤝👍

    The correct way is to "tin" each end of the wires prior to joining the wires. i.e. Heat up each end of the wires individually and put solder (soul dur) on. Then when you heat the 2 ends up as you bring them together. Voila (some French as well).

      If you have broken strands you will need to cut them off and strip back further. A couple of strands might not seem like a huge deal, but for every strand you're missing the rest of them are drawing more current and producing more heat which could damage and degrade the insulation and eventually could become a fire hazard.

  • @Timespace101
    @Timespace101 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I've always been taught to use wire nuts for wiring that I don't want to cut in the future as a possible long term, but temporary solution. If a wire gets damaged and I'm looking at replacing it, or shortening it and shortening it is feasible, the ONLY WAY to join the wire back together is permanently with solder and heat-shrink. If you don't want to do that, buy a new wire. It's safe to say something else will eventually break in whatever system the wire is a part of looong before you should have to worry about that wire. The only way to do it is to do it right. Otherwise, you've done little to nothing to "repair" or "assemble" or "install" anything. It just looks like you did.

    Can anyone tell me if when we fix a broken wire, the new one we going to use has to be the same colour as the old one? Or can we twist it up with a wire from a different colour?

      Always twist together the way it broke. Same color. Never twist a different color together. If you twist a positive and a negative it will spark and probably damage whatever it is connected and maybe even start a fire

    If you just wrap wires and cover in black tape, no shame in that. If you just use wire nuts and do it right, no shame in that. Been there for years, no regrets

    I'm trying to fix my tv wire that my dog chewed in half so I need a video showing the two ends and how you fix it.

    Wire nuts definitely don’t seem to be waterproof, does anybody know if they are?

    With all that effort, replacing the wire could be easier and cheaper.
