<span style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Glue-lined heat shrink is cheap, easy, fast and effective. I use it on my boat for every wire splice putting it over a glue-lined wire splice connector or end terminal. Just remember to slip the heat shrink on before you finish the splice or attach the terminal. I've been very pleased with the pre-cut tubes from Wirefy from Amazon (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NW7954L?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NW7954L?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4</a>) but you can also get good quality bulk rolls from Amazon which can be more economical than the pre-cut selections.</span>

Jeff looks very interesting. I’m guessing it comes in a range of sizes? Where did you get it from?

But we probably got it from DigiKey back when I was buying it. You will have to poke around in their catalog to find it, though. This phone screen is too small.

We used to get 3M heat shrink tubing with glue/sealant inside. I never had a problem with that, and it was 1/10th the trouble that this appears to be.

<br><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">Seems crazy expensive, but I do lots of marine wires and if they are really better, I can make the case to buy it.</span>
<br>
<br><span style="font-family: sans-serif; color: #000000; font-size: small;">Anyone ever use it? There is only one review, and it seemed their were problems with the order.</span>
<br>
