rewiring iron cord strain relief
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. Thanks, from someone |

Several layers of heatshrink sleeving, each layer shorter than the ones below it? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

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. |
