I noticed some correspondence recently regarding rewiring an iron,
which I did with mine a few years ago. What I would like to ask is,
where can I buy a cord strain relief collar? I tried to make one out
of duck tape but it didn't last long. Is there anywhere one can buy
these things in the U.K.?

In fact I could use some of these for lots of appliances around the
home.


Several layers of heatshrink sleeving, each layer shorter than the
ones below it?

I'd do it the other way - start with a short layer, and have each
succeeding layer longer than the one before - makes a neater finish.


Good point and there will only be one catch point on iron cable.
