The 3/8"(10mm) Heat Shrink Tube has a minimum diameter after shrinking (0.19"/5mm) that is larger than the Mac Charger Wire's Diameter. So, to create a proper hold, we need to increase its diameter. Wrap it in an electric tape or something like the red wire covering shown in the picture, to increase its diameter before shrinking it.

Thanks! Wish I had seen this repair technique a long time ago... would have saved a lot of money on buying new power supplies and an expensive laptop repair when a cracked cable shorted out. Much appreciated!
This method fried my cable and it stopped working… Do not recommend anyone to try it. Now I have to buy a new one…
Minimum sensitivity required. I think you missed the part where it reads…
“When heating, always keep the heat gun moving around the heat shrink. Do not apply heat to one location for too long. Overheating the heat shrink may cause further damage to the wire or wire coating underneath, and may melt the heat shrink itself.”
I know this is from 2017, but I had a big laugh when I read John Myr’s post. Who in their right mind would even attempt to make a repair if you don’t know how to use a heat gun or even a cig lighter? Further don’t try a repair if you don’t understand how to shrink shrink tube! LOL LOL I would have paid money to see this guy burn through his cord! OMG, thanks for the big laugh!
where do i get the red stuff??
