Has anyone replace the shrink wrap on the cables for a summit treestand, or is it better to just get new cables? I wore the wrap off of mine in one season and the cables are still good, no rust or frayed wires. The only problem I have is that the bust wrap gets caught and it make it loud and hard to put on and take off the tree. And has anyone found a good way to minimize the wear on the shrink wrap?

Use 3/4", 3:1, clear, Polyolefin, non-adhesive shrink tubing. You'll need 10' or more depending on if you replace the whole length or just partial. Use an Exacto, razor blade or knife to remove the damaged section. Use a paint stripper heat gun to shrink the wrap. Clear allows you to inspect the cable easily. Don't paint the cable. Perform this repair at the end of the season, so the scent fades. Got my tubing on EBay for ~$20.
