Good Morning Friends with Coffee....
I mixed it up a bit there this time.
Random Chit-Chat Over Coffee: yesterday I was up on a ladder near the front door and happened to spy the cord to our ourdoor security camera. The cord is surprisingly weather-beaten and fried. It is in the hot sun, and it's crackled the entire length; pieces of the dried out plastic cord coating are missing. I could see the wires inside in places. The wires look fine, and the camera works perfectly so the wires aren't damaged... yet. But I'm so glad I noticed.
My initial split-second thought was "Oh man, I don't want to have to buy a brand new camera just because the cord is fried..." but then I thought to myself; "The wires are fine. I just have to safely encase them again..."
And I wondered if that was a 'thing'.
I have ZERO interest in anything remotely related to electrical 'things'. Zilch. But I don't want to spend 150 on a replacement camera so....
Within minutes I had decided I'm going to try "liquid" electrical tape.
I knew of 'electrical tape' but didn't know the liquid version was a thing. However, tape won't work in this case, but I'm going to try the other.
I don't want to wait to order it online and I know local stores carry some brands of it so I'm hoping to get to a store at some point today to pick some up. I may have to get 2 or 3 since I need to do a long length of cord. I'll update to let you know how it worked out if you are interested. :)
