TIME TO GET A NEW ONE?...VACUUM CLEANER CORD REPAIR!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After the individual splices have cooled, slide the larger 1/2-inch heat shrink tubing (that was previously placed on the cord) over the two completed connections, centering it over the repair area. Use a heat gun to evenly apply heat to this larger tubing until it shrinks tightly around both connections and the surrounding cord, creating a protective outer layer.

Goal: Provide additional insulation and strain relief for the repaired cord.
