Go to Post So perhaps those that are so eager to complain might realize that if they spent a little less time complaining and a little more time analyzing the problem and developing solutions, then they might have a little less to complain about. - dlavery [more]

Slicing the poly cord that's solid is usually done via melting. "Properly" with an expensive hot knife kit that hold everything together and allowing to smoothly and easily move the pieces together. More cheaply with a soldering iron flat tip (EDIT: as a CompE this always kind of bothers me and I'd not want this done with a tip I'd use for soldering) and some vices holding the cord in place. Likely a heat gun as pointed out above - though I haven't done that myself and I think it would take awhile longer to heat up enough.

A quick search pulls up this out of focus video, but I'm sure there's plenty more out there: https://youtu.be/FmrxY2l2mn0?t=92
