Heatshrink
Tubing

Do you cover your metal
tools with PVC tape to make them "warmer" and
easier to hold?
|
|

|
|
Does it become sticky and
peel off?
|
|

|
|
Slide a piece of heatshrink
tubing onto the handle and apply hot
air.
|
|

|
|
The result is a
comfortable, warm handle with a nice
feel.

Do you need to protect a
label or badge on a stick?
Slide our clear heatshrink tubing over it and apply
hot air.
|
|

|
|
You can protect a stick or
cane which is "fraying". Slide a length of
heatshrink tubing over it and apply hot
air.
|
|

|
|
The excess can be cut off.
This method can also be used to increase the end
diameter of a stick which is too small for a
standard size ferrule.

|
The bottom end of a wading staff is weighted
with lead to help it sink and to make it hang low
in the water so that the fishing line is less
likely to tangle round it when using a fly
line.
|
|

|
|
You can also use bands of
heatshrink tube for decoration or to secure a hook
or loop of our leather lace for hanging the
stick.
|
|

|
Make your stick
glow brightly in the dark when headlights
approach. Use our self-adhesive reflective
tape and protect it with the clear
heatshrink tubing.

Have you ever needed to repair a garden hose in
a hurry? It's not easy is it!
Here's how I do it.
Apply a little silicone rubber ("bath sealant")
around the leak point. Slide a length of heatshrink
tube over the top of it. Carefully apply hot air to
shrink the tube until it's tight. Job done!
If you have other uses for this versatile
material, please let us know!
