| 1331199 | 2013-03-04 22:11:00 | Hi all, The cable sheath about 2cm below the wide iPod plug has disintegrated. The plastic went all soft and plucky, leaving about 1cm of exposed plastic-sheathed wires. I'd like to cover the break with something - heatshrink would be ideal but I won't be able to stretch it over the plugs. Are there durable alternatives to repair this (other than buying a new cable?). Mucho thanks. |
