I got the broken phone cord taped, but the tape slides off, do I can glue in the tape?

    And on this taped cord, to glue around it, do I can use tacky glue, wood glue or hot glue gun?
    Is it safe to use any of these glue on this taped cord?

    Just buy a new cord for heaven's sake.

    That’s pretty well okay to just get that-new cord -
    Do you know how much just the cord cost?

    I just saw they advertise a really special phone cord-in an ad
    would that be far more expensive than the phone cord that I’m using? This post was edited by DannyPetti at November 28, 2024 11:42 AM MST

    I have no idea how much a phone cord is where you are.  I seems that continuing to try taping it together could ruin your phone at some point and that would be a whole lot more expensive to replace.

    I see I'm not the only one who does this.

    - Use electrical tape, not packing tape (electrical tape will not slide).
    - Do NOT put glue on tape (it can get into the end and make the cord useless).
    - Make sure no frayed (unsheathed) wires touch whilst taping.

    Looks like an apple cord.  $10 at Wal-Mart.  
    I don't know if Dollar Tree sells apple cords or not.
