I believe he seperated the quad into two twisted pairs, then put the shrink over that, found a triangular object to hold the y down while heat up the joint to produce the 'Y' shape.

You can create that effect by clamping the heatshrink with a pair of pliers when you heat it. There might also be some additional tubing under there. Very nice clean work!

How did you do that Y? Do you have an image of just that section or a larger version of the thumbnail you posted?
Like the other guy was saying. All I used was 1/4 inch self sticking heatshrink and used a pair of needlenose to hold it in place while shrinking. You have to use self stick tho 3:1 regular heat shrink won't work.
Once the shrink shrinks it will bond to itself. What I do is cut a piece about an inch long hold it with the needlenose shrink it, then use another piece thats a tad longer and go over top of the first one. Makes it nice and tight and sturdy.
You can do it only one time and it works fine but I like it nice and solid.
ahhh use the adhesive shrink tube! Why didn't I think of that? lol
Very nice finished result. I just couldn't think of how you did it. It had occured to me that you clamped it somehow, but I didn't what made it stick together. I never use the adhesive shrink tube so that never occurred to me
Thanks for sharing the technique. That's why I love this forum
