Heat shrink tubing

[white hawk]

Where is a good place to buy adhesive shrink tubing. I bought some locally and it was $7.50 for 6". I bought some from dell city but it wasn't as nice as the local stuff. Would like to buy by foot or 4' lengths. Prefer the ribbed pvc looking tubing.

I'd start here: http://www.parts-express.com/heat-shrink-index.cfm

I've actually made my own plenty of times. If you are using big enough heatshrink. Take some high temp silicone, and fill up the ends of the tube before you shrink it, so the entire thing is stuffed. Then add some heat, and it pushes out the ends. Wipe off the excess and you're done.

I do love to parafin/adhesive lined stuff though.

Thanks for the info. I didn't think about parts express or make my own.

Thanks for the link, info and some fresh minds.

go to your local Carquest auto parts store.. most stores sell it cut in setions in a multi pack, or in rolls of different guages.. pretty cheap.

I get mine from the local Radioshack.

buy a roll, you can allways use MORE of it then you need. and it looks/works well.
