Hi, there are two kind of heat shrink tube material, one is the
single wall heat shrink, the second kind, this is the one I'm sure
you'll want to use, has a double wall, the inner wall melts at a
lower temp that takes the outer wall to shrink, and this inner wall
becomes a very sticky glue (Very much like the "hot glue stick" used
in hot glue guns) and when this double wall tube cools to room temp,
the whole enchilada becomes stiff and homogeneous with very litle
chance of leakage and tearing loose. The double wall heatshrink tube
comes in 3 feet (one metre in metric countries) length, diameter
ranging fron 2,5 mm (less than 1/8 in.) in 3 mm steps all the way to
50 mm diameter and larger, many different colours and there is also a
premium transparent tube available. You can find in most electrical
supply stores, electronic parts supply stores etc, price is around 3
bucks for the length3 feet or 1 metre for the 6 mmm (1/4") diameter tube
try it, you'll love it!
