I snip the ends, dab with white glue, and then strangle about
a half inch from the end with a few loops of common thread.


It's not cheap but heat shrink tubing works well.

Someone out there may know of a source for inexpensive heatshrink

is one place. Locally it depends on whether or not you have that type of
a store. Fry's Electronics sells it for not very much more.
