Using a rubber glove as a junction box!

[Gavin John Hyde]

Came across an old lighting cable on top some cupboard wall units. cable was live, wrapped in tape then stuffed in an old rubber glove! Got to love the things you find house bashing.
I sent it in to professional electrician magazine for the caught on camera as it made me chuckle too!
Anybody else found gloves being used as JB's

Found a live cable stuffed into part of a rubber sort of glove, just the one finger, had to call my mate "hey John come and have look at this"

Does it count as a double insulated class 2 enclosure?
