RE: [RCSE] Heat shrink
If you're going to pay that much...Why not just go buy Kapton tape instead??? Works for all of our applications both normal Tx/Rx and high-output for electrics. Rather than worrying about different sizes or configurations, you just wrap your pack with Kapton tape ~ one size fits all. Just a thought...

Re: [RCSE] Heat shrink
Title: Re: [RCSE] Heat shrink What are people using these days for heat shrink tubing when making battery packs? I'm aware of "Clearly Superior" tubing, but it's not cheap at $1 a foot. White or clear are what I prefer. I'm looking for 10-25' of 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3" tubing. gv George, I think that is the going rate, unless you buy by the roll (500 ft -1000 ft depends on the size), then you might get $0.50 a ft. Not too many places will do cut length for less. Try to find it in surplus stores. I never see the thin stuffs in the surplus places.

Re: [RCSE] Heat Shrink Wrapping for Batteries
Clear or colored packing tape works great and it shrinks nicely with a heat gun. It doesn't get any thinner or cheaper than that! It's what I use for the battery packs in my micro BD's.

Re: [RCSE] Heat Shrink Wrapping for Batteries
Go to your local electronics supply store and get some 3M heat shrink tubing of the appropriate size (I think I used 3/4" on my 110s) and color. Around here (SoCal), $6 buys about 4 feet of it. - Original Message - From: "Riebesehl, George (NP-IS)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, June 14, 2000 10:45 AM Subject: [RCSE] Heat Shrink Wrapping for Batteries > Looking for some lightweight heat shrink tubing/wrapping for my homemade HL > receiver packs.
