I dislike 9913 (I think that is what it was) because the stuff I have is 
hollow and fills with water no matter how you seal it when 
horizontal. 

I wound up using it only for vertical runs that don't flex, so it can 
drain and so the conductors don't fail from flexing.

What happened to your cable?
