Fix a stripped wire on your headphones

Step 6 A little more patience...

It's time to leave your headphones hanging up again, and let them dry.  This time they're going to need to hang out for three hours.

Pop in a movie, start another project, or just browse other projects on the site figuring out what else you need to do while you wait...

GREAT INSTRUCTABLE

I have a pair of ear bud type headphones that got a slice in the outer jacket of the cord "didn't touch the conductors". The wire was so thin I was worried it would break, so I decided to use my Liquid Electrical Tape "great stuff, everyone should have a can of it" works like the plasti-dip but is vinyl based and comes in a can w/ brush attached like rubber cement. The fix was flawless and I saved a $60 pair of ear buds. I'm sure the plaits-dip works great but if you already have liquid electrical tape around it will do the job just as well.

 Nice job, but I think I'd used Sugru.

I don't know if that would be an improvement...the liquid form of Plasti-Dip is actually pretty perfect for covering the wires.  I don't see how you'd use the clay-like state of Sugru to ever get such an even nice coating.  But, by all means...

 Did you ever use it?

[noahw]

Uh no, I'm just guessing looking at the pictures of the stuff.

 Sugru is moldable like clay but when it cures it's like durable rubber. You should buy some ! :) But as I said nice job!!
