Its used for insulating electrical splices. I have a stock of various sizes! Buy a small size, cut it to the length required, slip it over the end of the lace and hold it over a flame from a match or a candle! It shrinks down around the lace! Now he tells me, :happy:

For a more robust tip than fingernail polish use a quick drying epoxy. (But shrink wrap will be better.) But BEST will be buying proper length replacement laces.

It's reserved for the elite at the wholesalers. I bought mine at a electronic specialty shop! I just walked in, picked out what I wanted, paid at the check out and left! You probably can buy this on the internet!

Can't beat garage and yard sales for tools. Got some nice stuff this weekend. Forstner bits. Needle nose pliers. Screwdrivers. $5.00.
