: Please share your avoidance technique or tip. (other than the obvious = strip
: built)
what abt buying a pocket full of marettes and spinning them on after cutting.
or what abt something like a strong marette that you use to actually spin/twist the wire. one thought is some flattened 1/4in copper tube - partially flatten, fit over wire ends, spin. some form of this approach has got to be the answer. could make your own tool. or slip over some surgical tubing on ea and snip off, maybe could do during.
or is there anyway to wire inside vs outside for all the main wiring - like do a few outside to get setup up, but then switch to inside? like how do you stitch up all the panels after the keel opens up?
(marettes are those plastic(conical metal thread inside) caps that electricians use to twist together bare wires ends and stop you from getting electrocuted when opening up the elec boxes)
