Stab Proofing Steel Braid

[danthebugman]

I got one of those stainless steel braided faucet connectors from Lowe's, clipped both the connectors off, and pulled the liner out. Crimped one end and attached the other with a hose clamp to the output of my mash bucket. Easy as pie...except I keep getting stabbed by the stray wires from the steel braid. Now realistically it's not going to keep me from brewing, but I was curious if anyone had any tips to keep it neat on the end?

Fold the loose ends inside and then clamp it.

You could stick a Stainless bolt in the end and secure it and all of the "Fly-aways" under a Stainless clamp.

Well that just seems stupidly obvious :smack:. Thanks!
