Well Larry,
It looks like you're just going to have to shrink the inside AND the outside
of the barrel<g>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I prefer the shrink inside the barrel...

when patching alot, and grabbing the plug by the barrel and the
shrink all at once, there is NO pull on the internal soldering
joints,

But this is also true when grabbing the barrel with the shrink
inside. If you grab the wire instead of the barrel you deserve any
trouble you get!

and the barrels tend to not come "un-screwed" ever...

True, but I haven't had trouble with plugs coming unscrewed anyway.

My main objection (besides the fact that I think shrink over the
barrel looks kinda funny), is that I can't repair an end without
destroying everything. And THAT is a big deal for these really stud
patch cables. I want to be able to keep these going for the next 20
years.
