Default control cable protection question

Wanting to use a nylon sleeve over a 1/8" elevator cable to avoid rubbing on
another crossing in mid-fuselage, what do you think about the following
methods of securing the sleeve/tube so it doesn't slip out of position:

slip sleeve over RTV'd cable section; clamp sleeve ends with safety wire;
suggestion...



Use heat shrink electrical tube to secure sleeve----Some RTV sealants
are corrosive--especially if they smell like vinegar!

I've seen teflon tubing for sale somewhere---maybe electrical suppliers?
