Message	Hey guys, Could I glue together ripped areas on rubber hoses covering wires and connectors and what not (like this one [ http://imgur.com/a/YZv95 ]), or is there a better way to put them back together? The previous owner glued one of them but after a few months the glue came off and the wires were visible again. Also, how thorough should I be with electrical connectors? A few that I pulled apart were green so I took a file, QD, and dielectric grease and cleaned them out, but I couldn't get them to look 100% clean. Eventually got to a point where I started to be worried that if I kept going the connections wouldn't fit anymore since they were filed down. If the connector is around 95-99% clean and corrosion free, and I fill it with dielectric grease, should it be good for the next year or two? Or should I aim to get them shiny as new?
