Then dip the first inch in crazy glue/super glue. The strands of the cable will be bonded in a smooth bundle which allows removal and re-installation as easily as a new cable. In the old days silver solder was used but the crazy glue is faster (less than 20 seconds) and just as functional as solder for the cable. Crazy glue/super glue: Most brands claim metal adherence: As an example: "Super Glue - Permabond All Purpose Superglue Bonds plastic, metal, ceramic, rubber, glass, and wood All purpose superglue; Industrial grade adhesive Cyanoacrylate adhesive Temperature range: -60 to 82 C (-80 to 180 F) Colorless Set time: 10 sec."
