Help with cotton-insulated hookup wire

Tube DIY Asylum

Do It Yourself (DIY) paradise for tube and SET project builders.

I'm adding a Corda crossfeed circuit to the Bottlehead Crack headphone amp.. I got some cotton insulated solid-core hookup wire for it. I'm finding the insulation unravels at the ends, either sooner or later. As this is being done on a solderable breadboard with holes on 0.1 inch centers, and as the Alps rotary switch is quite small, this unraveling is going to make debugging really hard, just because it will be hard to see what is what.

I thought of using a drop of some kind of glue to keep the ends together, but the only instant-set glue I know is superglue, which brings its own problems. How do you guys work with this?

Thanks,
WW
