you may consider two possibilities - 1 is to just discard the bad part, the
other is to get some enamel (you don't really need special stuff, but NOT
LATEX) - you can use polyurethane, you can use Varathane enamel, whatever -
put it in a tray, and pull the wire through the tray and then let it dry -
you might spread it out like a clothesline, for example, or you could pull a
few feet through the enamel, and heat it as it comes out to speed
polymerizing.    OR, you can use lacquer - much of the "enamel" insulation
is really lacquer and that will dry very fast, (30 sec or so) if you heat
it.
