Questions about heat-shrink tubing, if you know: My earbuds have broken insulation on one of the cables after they separate to L and R near the top. So, the cable is not broken, but is vulnerable to breaking because the insulation is not providing relief to any tension the cable suffers. The thin metal wires could break. If I wanted to use heat-shrink tubing... 1. Does the tubing bond tight enough to the insulation to provide stress relief or is it just a cover for insulation? 2. To fix one of the L or R cables, one can't slide the tubing in since it wouldn't fit over the earbud - and we wouldn't want to take it appart. So, if we split the tubing lentghwise, will it bond back unto itself as we heat it? Thanks for the help.

People, after years of experimenting, I have finally found the BEST way to solder these tiny headphone wires 1)Firstly strip the plastic wire housing. 2) Next apply PAINT THINNER on each of the tiny wires. Wait for it to dry(2 mins). 3) Then grab a soldering iron, put some solder on it, and run the tip of the iron through the wire in a DOWNWARDS DIRECTION -the wire should start bubbling - this actually gets rid of the enamel coating as it sticks to the solder. Let this solder drip on the table/remove this solder. (If you use lighter to burn the enamel, you don’t actually remove the enamel - you just melt it, which is why people find it so hard to solder these wires. ) Now, you have actually REMOVED and TINNED the wire (which is impossible if you use fire to melt the enamel) At this stage you just need to connect the tinned wires together and solder. `
