<div>You could try some of those paint on vinyl coatings that they sell for coating tool handles. Tool dip was one brand I recall. </div>

<div>May not be able to get a repeatable reliable thickNess though. The electrical tape may be your best patch until you do replace the cable. </div>

<div style="font-size: 13px; font-family: arial, sans-serif;">
<div><font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">I have a motorized curved curtain track that got stuck and the
</font><font style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">drive pulley wore thru the (probably vinyl) jacket on the wire rope. As a temporary fix, the bare wire rope was wrapped with Scotch 33 electrical tape to thicken it so the drive pulley can
grip. The affected area is in a spot that affects the curtain traveling to and from a storage position, but would not affect its ability to open and close in a normal performance mode.</font></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><span>The cable run is about 220 feet total and I would prefer to not replace all (or half of it) if it can be avoided. </span> Heat shrink has been suggested but would require significant rethreading.
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Any thoughts about how best to proceed? </div>

<div>Be safe,</div>
