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.

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.

says, and, if you spit on your fingers, you can mold the stuff neatly
