    hey
    so my original hd800 cable sleave upper section (L and R section when they split up) was damaged, and some blue liquid/glue that surrounds the cable was leaking out so I removed entirely the plastic/rubber sleave to clean it as it was starting to taint some of my clothesé

    so now im left with the bare wire.

    what can I use to make a nice sleave for the wires?

    thanks

    You could use some thin heatshrink to seal it and give it some body. Some techflex can do something similar though not sealed and you will want something softer on top. Nylon multifilament from techflex has been a go to for years with paracord now quite popular to add color (though not as soft as nylon multifilament.
