How to Repair a Lamp Cord That Is Cut

Electrical tape is available in many colors. You can use any color you find to try to match your wire color. Use enough tape to cover the connections, but not so much that it is unsightly. Four or five layers should be sufficient.

Be sure the lamp is unplugged before you start. If you don't use a wire stripper, be careful not to cut or nick the wire while you are stripping it with a knife. Do not short the connectors together. Be sure your tape completely covers the copper wire and goes at least one inch onto the insulation. Be sure you use electrical tape and not masking or packing tape.
