use an awl or something to poke into and make sure the end of the housing isn't pinched from cutting. a few drops of tri-flo or other LIGHT lube into the end of the housing you'l feed the cable into. super glue is a great idea, by the way, but twist the cable end in it's natural twists direction to smoothe it out. then super glue. this should do it.
oh- if you're using crappy, dull cutters that don't cut without bending and twisting and cursing....
it won't work. It'll mess up the cable end and make it fray every time.
