The plastic over the earpieces on my old glasses is dryrotted and cracking and crumbling. What can I do as a better long term solution than heat shrink? (lemmy.world)

I've temporarily mitigated this using electronic heat shrink/thermal fit tubing. Though that works pretty well, heat shrink isn't designed for long term skin exposure with sweat and body oils, so I should replace that soon, or hopefully find a better long term solution.

The glasses themselves were made in 1988, so replacement parts are basically out of the question.

Any ideas?
