Cable release how to fix

[joho]

a cable release has a problem at the area just above where it screwed in to the lens shutter release.

If it has a kink (a sharp bend in the wire) there, that can be a problem. I had that happen to one of mine, and did the best I could to straighten it, then used three layers of electrical insulation shrink tubing to stiffen the area. You put the tube over the area, then heat with a heat gun (or maybe hair dryer?) and it shrinks to a tight fit. Here is an example of the stuff I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/560PCS-Heat-S...7639427&sr=8-5

working on it now, soldering the net wire to the thread base, at the lens, then using tape that is like thin gaze + instant glue for the top plastic.
the cable is 3,6 foot. and works only for this camera.
some thing like this is very hard to find!!!
thanks...
