Cable Repair
USB Phone cord.
Molded connectors. At phone end, cable cracked all around at end of strain relief. Interior wires are OK. Cannot get shrink tube over connectors of correct size to facilitate repair. What is the best way to repair this? Trying to keep at least 2/3 of strain relief at connector flexible. |

Sugru https://sugru.com https://sugru.com/tech-gadget/how-to-repair-a-usb-charger-cable Agreed, but somewhat expensive. I use hot melt glue when I don't care if it flexes. If I want flex, I use RTV (silicon rubber), Awsome Goo (hard to find), or Shoe Goo. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |

Shoe Goo and regular Goop (nearly the same thing) work great, as Jeff says, and, if you spit on your fingers, you can mold the stuff neatly around the wire to make a nice strain relief. Isaac |
