    • Use wire strippers to remove about 5cm of the outer insulation from the cable.

    • Remove around a centimeter of insulation from the inner wires to reveal the bare copper using the wire strippers.

    • Do the same for the other side of the extension cord.

    • It may help to use a vice grip or similar to hold one end of the wires in place, so that you can manipulate the other side with your hands.

    • If necessary, you can rectify any blisters or spikes in the soldering using a small hammer.

    • Once you've soldered all of the connections, check with the ohmmeter that the current flows well from one end of the extension cord to the other. If it does not, check to make sure that the solder has made a firm connection with each side of each cable pair. It may help to reflow the soldered connections.

Be sure to slide the section of thermosetting tube onto one of the cord ends before soldering the wires. The tube should be cut to a length that will cover the repair section and overlap the adjacent outer insulation by 1.5cm on each side of the repair. After soldering, slide the tube over the repair and heat shrink it.
