Larry, I haven't heard of that before. The wire mesh probes are for the stand alone Auber? Are they fraying where they connect to the probe or plug or are they fraying along the length? I would call Auber and explain it to them if it is still under warranty.
Larry, I've heard of people shrink tubing them where the wire meets the probe. I don't see why you could'nt cover up your frayed spot with some small shrink tube.
My error. Pretty good of Steve to get those for you. I don't know if he has more stashed away or not. I would contact Maverick. In the mean time, see the link I posted under gadgets and gizmos. Thermoworks has good stuff, pricey, but good.
