Lighters tend to singe things,
I tried using a hair dryer but it would not get hot enough, and with dual wall flex, I had to hold it up close for a long time, this was dangerous as it exposed the material to high levels of heat over a long period which can result in insulation and plastic deforming and adheive line shrink not melting as it should.

I used a new hair dryer once, returned it and got myself an ungar dual heat high power gun.

never looked back since.

I have a (low medium and high) heat gun, but its really no different then the hair dryer that I use on high. I really don't think this hair dryer should be used for hair it burnes my fingers after only a few seconds.

Practice makes perfect. I actually came up on something really crazy as far as sleeving goes and I will be making yet another 650 cable with this sleeving. I don't think it will ever get any softer and flexible then this.

If youre speaking of "Flexo Thin" sleeving.. , its an idea Ive been playing with too on my quest for the most pliable non-microphonic sleeving.

Yep. For now.

You are about 2000 miles off. From what I have seen this has never been used for any sort of cables or wires; audio or not. Soon it will be unveiled with another big surprise.

I'm very interested in seeing what cables you two will be un"veiling" for the Sennheiser's (get it? har har...) in the near future. I've got some HD-650's on the way to me right now, and I think I might be ditching this Oehlbach for another aftermarket cable.

So, let the DIY Wars begin

9.99 at Harbor Freight. Can't go wrong with a price like that!

Beautiful work there [AK]Zip and I can't wait to see what you have in store for us.
