Melted a fan wire on my first custom loop, here's the fix

Ngl, I was bending a tube near the top radiator in my basement office and the heat gun caught a fan header wire, melted the sleeve in like 2 seconds. I stripped it back, used some spare 18-gauge wire and heat shrink I had left from a car audio install, and rerouted the cable along the frame with zip ties instead. Anyone else learned the hard way to keep cables clear of the heat gun zone?

Ever notice how every DIY project comes with a hidden "don't touch that" lesson that takes about two seconds to learn? I think that's just how the universe keeps us humble, man.
