shrink tubing

Hi all,
just wondering where a person can pick up shrink tubing apart from the fishing tackle shops or is it a speciality material used in the rod building trade,someone told me once that its used in the electrical world as well.
Do the likes of halfords or the like do it?
cheerio

maplin sell shrink tubing but its small,have seen bigger size shrink tubing used in electrical work,you could contact maplin at Unit F Blackpool Retail Park, Blackpool, Cork Tel: 00 353 214309196 or any electrical wholesale outlet

Maplins also do "Self-emalgimating tape" which is very good, you just wind it on under small tension slightly over lapping as you spiral down and it will "emalgimate" into a one piece hand grip. Or give Tom (Rockhopper) a shout on here he stocks some good quality stuff

most good tackle shops will stock shrink tube,if not look on e bay guys sell it on there,the cross hatch stuff is very good and has an exellent grip reguardless of conditions.i know for sure the tackle shops in portrush stock it and would post no problem.

i have just redone one of my rods with the above tubing, and it is great stuff.
ordered on line from veals and recived it next morring, as far as i can mind it comes in one meter lengths...

try peter horne in blarney mike he had some the last time i was there.

they have that stuff in the shops in limerick i can pick some up for you before i meet you for the rod. think its sells for between 15 and 20 E not sure if thats a good or bad price though.

Hi Gearoid,
that would be brillant if you could do that for me,i'd greatlly appreciate that,and i'll fix up with you tomorrow,as i said still on nights but i'll buzz you around lunchtime to sort out someplace to meet up.
Thanks again

the tape cyclists use on handle bars is very good. its padded, has adhesive on the back and needs a drop of superglue or small piece of heatshrink at the start and finish.
