Wire insulation repair?

Anyone have experience repairing insulation on mouse chewed wires. I'm thinking of "shrink wrap in a tube" or some other miracle product, but haven't found anything yet.

Anyhow, this is what I'm dealing with in a 2003 Silverado, I've ruled out replacing the whole harness ($$$$$$$$$$$$) and don't want to separate the wires (future relliability).

This also explains little mysteries like:
-Brake light would glow and not turn off occasionally...................no matter what I disconnected or took apart.

-Truck would be off and sitting ............................... then you would here the fuel pump turning on and off.

-Lights coming on in the middle of the night and draining the battery.

Liquid electrical tape. I have used it in the past to touch up some chaffing. Easy to use and pretty durable

That's what I pictured ......................... electric supply house?

Cool, parts houses suck around here, looks like the big-chain marine stores handle it though. Thanks!
