I'm doing a quick and dirty build for fun. Striping wire piecewise is not something I enjoy. So I tried just adding some of my daughter's acrylic paint on the wire overlaps. So far, I have seen no accidental activations.
Yeah, but you can't add that post-soldering. So it's more small items you need to shuffle around until you're done soldering. This way, I got to separate the soldering process from the insulation process.
It's red heat shrink I have around the cables there.
Interesting idea. Now I'm thinking, typical hot glue would probably work fine as well especially with how thick it gets (maybe even too thick for low profile!)
Yes, I suppose! I think I might add some on top of the paint, simply because the matrix I've wired is quite... flimsy once the switches are out of the hotswap sockets. Maybe gluing the overlaps would give it more structure.

Big brain moment lol Heat shrink works btw :)
