I can't believe I actually had materials on this subject on my desk as this
question came up, but heat shrink tubing comes in diameters, expanded, of
up to 4", and in a range of materials which have varying properties
relative to chemical resistance, flexibility, and operating temperatures.
And cost. Teflon tubing for example, one of the highest performance of heat
shrink tubings, would be excellent, having a temperature rating of
something like 400 deg f and excellent chemical resistance. In 2"
diameter, 2 foot lengths sell for about $50. How much are bandaids?
