Thanks ... agreed. If the wire cores are not exposed then this should do the job. I would probably still fusion tape the end edge of the wrap to prevent a new wear problem.

In my case I needed to recover (insulate) exposed (frayed) wires. A self vulcanizing (amalgamating or fusion) silicon tape gives a good weather resistance flexible seal without the mess of electrical tape. I am afraid to add anything else as this might make the wire bundle too stiff.
