Third phase: definitive fixation
Apply the hot glue in an even layer around the spring, taking care not to obstruct the contacts. Wait until it is completely solidified.
Fourth phase: Preserving flexibility
Keep part of the spring free of glue to allow for natural movement and avoid excessive tension.
Fifth phase: verification
After cooling, test your modified cable. Functional? You've just saved the purchase of a new accessory!
The undeniable advantages of this technique
Increased strength: The combined spring-and-glue structure forms a shield against twisting and unintentional bending.
