Ive got my Practical tomorrow and have never made one off . . . do you put the braiding tha youve split and wrapped around on the inside or outside of the jb or whatever your connecting it too ?

thanks for posting that . . . so my washers go on the outside or does it not matter ?
on the example / test booths at my am2 centre they have theres on the inside so realy confused of which way to do mine

You mean they put the washer inside the box? What's gripping the braid in place? I think it should be done as shown in the video.
