What I'm using in for is to cover the "tail" of
the swaged control wires going to the rudder and elevator. I planned to use
heat shrink tubeing but was thinking so much about putting on the Nico
collars that I forgot about it. It was the first time I'd ever done it.- Hide quoted text -

Check West Coast Marine, The Sail boat clan use a tape that sticks to
it's self for this - and other things. Works pretty
well.................

Almost all shrink sleeving that I am aware of works on the 50% rule. That
is, it will shrink to 50% of its cold diameter. 4" will shrink to 2".


Go here http://www.mcmaster.com/, and start at catalogue page 777.
Shrink ratios up to 6:1, colors, clear, thick-wall, wrap-around etc.
Same-day shipping. But that high shrink-rate stuff is pricey.

I need to do what heat shrink tubing would be perfect for but I can't use
the HST because the end of what I need to cover is too large. Is there an
equivalent that will allow me to wrap the item and then heat shrink it?


Look here http://www.smallparts.com/ any size you need but a local
electrical supply house will be able to sell you want you need also.
