You should see it in the dark, looks rather cool

It uses water, but I haven't a clue how it works.
The fact I was an Avionics engineer at Farnborough really shines through with some of my Telephone wiring there :/

hehehe Yes, it's a fogger, damn thing leaves condensation everywhere, but what the heck
As for the wiring, I must have used everything from blu-tac to a Kit-Kat wrapper (when they were foil) as an electrical tool in my life

blu-tac is surprisingly ineffective as a repair for IDE cables, I've found.

It sounds like there's a pretty amusing story behind that one. Care to share it?

I broke an IDE cable connector and tried to put it back together using blu-tac.
It's more of an amusing concept than story.

I guess had I known what blu-tac was I'd be more entertained.

It's like sticky plasticine, you can use it for sticking paper to wells for about 20 minutes before they fall off again.
You can also use it a bit like modelling clay, but it's not very good

It's called sticky-tak or fun-tak in the US.

Hm. Never heard of it. But cool, I suppose. (If it worked)
