[QUOTE="Douglasdzaster, post: 506335, member: 27803"] Way way back when all the telephone lines where being removed from poles and buried underground. It was one of my first full time jobs. I started off as a helper in charge of running a sharp shooter shovel. After some training I was an operator running a cable plow and had my own helper. We’d have to splice cables frequently and after the water proof connectors we had tubes of 2 part epoxy with a divider in the middle. We’d squeeze the tube to break the divider then shake it and race to cut the end of the tube off and shove that cable in it. We used to take those tubes in the winter and squeeze the divider and shake them up and put them in our pockets. Keep our hands warm for about an hour. Wish I could get my hands on some of those tubes today. [/QUOTE]
