Where's the best Battery Heat Shrink Deal? - Various Colors

[sikeston34m]

I've been searching the web for Battery Heat Shrink in various colors. Who's got the best deal on this stuff?

I prefer 4 to 5 mils thick in Red, Blue, Yellow, Black and maybe even Purple.

I will be using alot of the 3 inch and a few other sizes.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Battery heat shrink 4-5mm thick? All the stuff I look at is usually about 0.1-0.2mm thick.... I did find some clear stuff once though that was rather like rubber- that was about the thickness you are looking for = ebay.

Oh, I always assumed 'mils' was just an abbreviation of 'millimeters', or mm. Curse you americans and your crazy measurement systems for confusing me! ;)

Still, ebay is a good place to find random sizes, colors and thickness's.

Tanic has some shrink I bought that was good in larger sizes. I've bought shrink from a number of places, but no one seems to have a comprehensive selection.

I work in the thermoforming industry and deal with "mil" spec all the time. 1 mil is actually equal to .001 inch ( one thousandth of an inch)

I beleive the term "mil" is actually derived from some military standards for thickness (at least thats what one of the old timers I work with told me)

Hmm I remembered it like it was "milli" as in 1/1000. Its just works for me tho.

TrueRC also has some diff colored shrink as well.
