How to Fix Fraying Chargers with Super Glue
- First, you will want to get your fraying cord and clean it up a bit by using an Exacto knife to cut the frayed part of the cover, careful not to cut any of the wires.
- From there you can take any instant super glue with a thick viscosity and put it around the part of the cable with the exposed wires. Be generous with the amount you use.
- From there, you can take some parchment paper and gently wrap it around the glue, careful not to squeeze any out.
- Wait for the glue to dry completely and then you can remove the parchment paper.
- Lastly, if any areas were missed or need an extra dab of glue, you can add it, but wait for the glue to dry before using the cable.
