What heatshrink/sleeving do you use?

[daba]

Hello,

This is just an inquiry about what kind of sleeving, and in particular heatshrink everyone uses, and why you use it. Also, where do you buy them from?

Thanks.

any 1/3 heatshrink. I get it from the local electronic store, it has text on it so it kinda defeats the professional look, but hey, it works.

I also use resin cored heatshrink often when things just don't seem to want to stay put.

i just bought 3/8" techflex, and i think it's a little too big, so if you are looking to get some, go for 1/4", imo. It'll fit the cable tighter, the 3/8 is baaaarely small enough, and doens't let any inner material "shine" through.

partsexpress has 3:1 heatshrink and techflex for decent prices.
