Where to get large heat shrink

Postby Jay64 » Wed Jul 25, 2012 11:49 am

A few years ago I got some really large heat shrink from Gary. It was 9" wide and great for wrapping battery packs. It is almost more of a plastic than a rubber like the regular heat shrink for wires. Does anyone have any idea where I could get more of this? Or an idea of what it would be called that I can find it? I've checked electronics stores, hobby stores, Grainger, no one even knows what I'm talking about.

It is not a sheet, it is a very flat tube, I tried taking a pic of the tube, but it was hard to see when it was black on black.

Ebay? I got some 100mm heatshrink from there. It was also as you say <<more plastic than rubber>> but it shrunk very nicely. I'd search in metric units, because the cheaper chinese sellers are probably using metric. So for you, 200mm, 250mm, 300mm, similar to 9".


E.g

^200mm

http://www.ebay.com/itm/310MM-200MM-PVC ... 1309wt_952
^310mm

Maybe another option is to look at heatshrink or just "shrink", then sort by price high to low.
New to endless-sphere? Notice a lot of signatures recommending Ebike.ca? That's because it's the best place for a quality and manageable, (but still 'real'), first build. Justin is a solid supporter of electric bike development, and a good source of equipment.

My hat off a thousand times to the green people that effectively run this forum. The ES Mods are superb.
