Then place the laptop cord on the painter's tape, keeping the frayed section in the section of the square of tape.

Squeeze Sealant Seant From Tube

Next squeeze a bit of silicone sealant from the tube and apply it to the frayed cord. Now smooth it down using your finger or a cotton swab.  You also have the option of wearing gloves if you do not want touch the silicone with your skin.  Then add another layer of silicone to build up the area so that it evens up with the rest of the laptop cord. Finally allow the silicone to dry out.
