I was fortunate to recently purchase a couple hundred feet of 2/0 and 3/0
welding lead at a very reasonable price (considering). However, it had
clearly seen hard use probably in a shipyard since in several places the
insulation was cut and the copper had arced through.
There are two scenarios here: one where only the insulation is cut, and one
where maybe 10% of the copper strands are also cut.
I got some black heatshrink tubing and put that over the insulation cuts, but
it looks wimpy.
I would like to cut out a couple of sections and replace them with some kind
of splice joint, hopefully not much larger in diameter than the cable itself.
Does such an item exist?
Thanks,
