I am wanting to seal outdoor extension cords. How small will this shrink down to?

I would not use this product for that. It does not fuse well enough to seal out moisture.

just cut the size you want and seal one end and the fill it and seal the other end. Must seal the small end first.

No it will not, you need to use romex or metal clad. The issue is the rubber exterior is going to breakdown over the years just like any other extension cord will.

From the product manual: Use only a UL-rated extension cord for outdoor, all-weather use. Do not use an extension cord more than 150 feet (46 meters) long. The cord should be rated for outdoor usage. Up to 100 feet: 14 gauge; 100-150 feet: 12 gauge. The extension cord Amazon lists as most commonly purchased with this item is 16/3, which is not recommended.

I misplaced the item, it was so long ago. But I can tell you it was too hot to use for shrink wrap. And the tool didn't allow for lower heat levels to compensate for all the little holes it was creating. Seemed powerful for high heat requirement project though.

I purchased this size to string outdoor lights. The cord for the outdoor lights is about the same size as a normal household product and there is still plenty of room for a larger cord.

This is from the manual which you can get from the WORX website: "Use the extension cord to be a type acceptable for outdoor use, for example - SJTW, and the size should be 14AWG or larger."

This is almost like a really thick piece of tape. I ended up using a sheet metal cutter to cut the length. A heavy duty scissor should work too. Just clean the surface and apply firmly, making sure there are no air gaps. I applied the tape to the outside of the gutter, and then used sealant inside the gutter to cover the hole (attached link). The tape acted as a surface where I could apply the sealant. I have gotten no leaks since. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006B6818/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is quite short. Maybe 2-4 feet or so. You'll definitely need an outdoor extension cord. I also recommend that you "tie" a "bow" knot (half-hitch?) around the connection so when you pull on the extension cord it tightens the connection instead of loosens it. If you need to know the exact length let me know. The cord is a heavy duty type and I've had no trouble leaving it out in the rain and wind.

If it is an 8" bungee it will stretch to about 12 1/2 inches in length. I used to to secure a tarp to a 4" diameter pole and it was a very snug fit. 3.14 x diameter

You need to purchase an outdoor extention cord of the appropriate length to meet your needs. The cord on the mower is only about 18 inches long.

Hi Donald, I've been sorta waiting for someone else to answer this one but since no one has... here is my take on it. I'd wrap it around a long nail or spike much the same way you would put it on a spool. My nail or wrap area would be no longer than ~5 3/4". I'd then tuck the cord into itself on one end and stuff it in my pouch, nail and all. Never hurts to have another tool around. ; - ) I have seen some videos on how to wrap cord in a way that holds it together well but also allows for quick and easy unraveling in an urgent situation. You may want to YouTube that as I'm not allowed to put outside links in this note. I hope someone gives you a better answer... but that's what I'd do since we don't have a better one yet. All the Best, Bill... TOUGH-GRID UPDATE: You're welcome Don! When you search YouTube, use the term "paracord deployment lanyard" I think you'll like the videos you find there. Bill... TOUGH-GRID

Sorry. I haven't used it for that. I would imagine though it would work. It does work on electrical wire heat shrink. Sorry I could not be of help.

need more or cut and splice in copper stranded wire same size.and use heat shrink on splice.

I would think at least 2 inches, I use a plug to cover a screw, at the most 1/4 to half inch, not sure the need for deeper or longer plug .

I used 2 x 100 ft. power cords, one I ordered when I bought this tiller: Coleman Cable 02309 16/3 Vinyl Outdoor Extension Cord, Orange, 100-Feet 16-gauge I had had a 12-gauge extension cord already and used both together- no problem.

I guess it is possible since all thin plastic with shrink with heat with maybe a blow dryer but is not what I used it for and can't say for sure it will work for what you want to shrink wrap being so thin I do not recommend using it for an outdoor application but for the decent price they have on it maybe its worth a try for you it is also super long and stretches good
