What happens here

After successful application, the narrator elaborates on the importance of the shrink ratio, noting that many common heat shrinks are 3-to-1, while he specifically sought out a 4-to-1 ratio (and even looked for a 5-to-1). He points out that the applied tubing, especially with the adhesive, makes the connection waterproof, preventing moisture ingress. This reinforced connection is now stronger and will only bend at the cable itself, not at the connector, thus prolonging the cable's life.

Goal: The narrator discusses different heat shrink ratios (3:1, 4:1, 5:1) and highlights the waterproof and reinforcing benefits of the applied tubing.

coming out of there. These are also waterproof. Nothing's going to get in there. So looking around and a lot of these little heat shrink wraps are a 3-to-1 ratio. I was actually looking for a 5 but I couldn't find it. So 4 worked out pretty well. And now for the same price as new chord, we got all this different size shrink tubing that's going to come in handy. I went ahead and did the other side just to reinforce it. And boom, we're good at all.
