The power cord for my Macbook laptop got pinched in something and the outer sleeve is cut. The conductors are still OK. But I'm worried about things getting worse because the cut is less than a half inch from the fancy and proprietary MagSafe connector that fits into the laptop. This is right where you need strain relief and if the conductors fail, a repair will be very difficult.
I wish I could just slip heat-shrink tubing over the cut, but I don't have easy access to either end of the cable. (It has been repaired in the past, from another cut, but I'd rather not reopen that wound.)
Is there anything like heat-shrink that can be applied without opening the cable? A wrap-around heat shrink? Some of my usual tricks like hot glue or black tape would be ugly.
I'll get a picture up if that would help.
