Fix a stripped wire on your headphones

Step 4 Wait for it...

Set your headphones in a place where the drying plastic won't touch anything.  You can either let them hang down from a hook (hanger, nail, etc.), or place them horizontally over a bowl or something similar so it can dry.

No go relax for a half an hour and bask in the knowledge that you're not going to have to worry about stripping the wires in the spot soon.

Make sure your dip is sealed while you wait...you don't want it drying out!
