I might have to do that for the hell of it. As I said, it is very unique...I personally have never seen that done before. You could also use adhesive lined shrink tube. Holds pretty well. I think most teflon is very slippery. It can slide out of electrical tape quite easily. kinda a PITA!
No, I found this from the paper copy that I ordered with all the stuff. We were 8 Finns in a group buy and the total lenght of the flex was nearly 1000'.

And yes, the Techflex example was how to terminate one end. Originally I planned on putting the flex inside the 3.5mm plug, but the plug cover was too small for my cabel&flex combination. Afterall, I think my solution with the personal shrink is much better.
