Shrink wrap for 6.5mm castle bullets ugh

[Dragonfueled]

Seems like all the shrink wrap I try is either a little to small or allot to big for the 6.5mm castle bullets. Anyone know where I can get the rite stuff?
I like a neat look but so far i have to settle with smaller wrap that I stretch to go over the bullet and it looks ummmm not so good

I got mine at Walmart in the auto section. It's a package with 5 pieces and only 1 or 2 are the right size, the other pieces work well for other RC purposes though. I was wanted to get mine going and no one else is open at 1AM so I was stuck with this choice but it has worked good so far

try streching the one that is too small with a needle nose.

That's what I do and it works like a charm.

The stuff that's about 0.5" wide works well. Much bigger than that and it doesn't shrink enough, smaller and...well, you get the idea.

*edit* I mean 0.5" wide when flattened.....

Try some 8mm dia. glue lined shrinks. Your local DIY electronics store should have them in stock. Radioshack perhaps.

One thing I like about being here in Asia(Japan) is the availability of everything in metric

I bought and used a 8mm shrink-wrap for my MMM but it still smoked. 10-12mm for my Deans plugs.

...And here I was thinking shrink-wrap was the end-all-fix-all for the MMM! You'll have to try two layers on the next one!

I finally found 8mm stuff at a Harbor freight store near my house.

I use DuBro Heatshrink,you can get it from pretty much any Hobby Shop,I used Part#DUB2148 it is 6.3MM or 1/4 inch accordding to my DuBro Catalog.

This place is where I get mine and they have just about everything you could imagine. They also sell it by the foot. I highly recomment the adhesive lined stuff so when you pull plugs apart the heat shrink doesn't come off. Here's the link:

Any electrical supply house should have a huge selection of shrink tubing.

I know Graybar has any size you could ask for from 1/8th of an inch to 1.5 inches.

In all different colors.
