Heat-shrink tubing

[Painless]

Has anyone found a supplier of Heat-shrink tubing?

I've been through both Lowes and Home Depot and asked staff, most of them don't even know what it is.

Mcmaster-Carr kicks ass! THE best selection when it comes to raw materiale. Check out onlinemetals.com as alternate for electrode materials. I've used both, excellent customer service, prices on the high side, but worth it!

Biggest size I seen was 2". That was after shrinkage. I am wondering how much it would flex the SS if it tried to shrink more then what you wanted it to. Say your cell is 3", and it can go smaller. Grant it, the cell would have to get real hot to shrink it anymore.

cO2cutter, that stuff that you used from the sample, was it actually the same stuff? and if so, did you just put the 4" on and shrink it to where it needed to be? Thanks bud.

EDIT: Just looked at McMaster and the go up to 5.4" after shrinkage. Guess I am good. Thanks for the info.

Harbor Freight has it also.

I stopped at Napa Auto Parts on my way to work this afternoon to pick up some 10 gauge connectors, they had a decent selection of heat shrink tubing too!

Home Depot has it in the electrical department.

Home Depot was the first place I went to, I looked for about 15 minutes through the electrical and plumbing sections and couldn't find it. I asked three different employees for it and they either didn't know what I was asking for or couldn't find it.

Looks like I was just the victim of bad luck there.

LOL, look by all the terminals and zipties. I'm serious. In my local one it's right across the isle from the wire rack.
