[TowerTalk] Heat Shrinkable Tape?

[Michael Tope]

You can buy heat shrink tubing that is coated with a
glue on the inside. Also, if your plug-to-wire aspect
ratio is greater than 2:1, there are shrink-tube products
out there that have shrink ratios greater than 2:1 (up
to 4:1 if I recall correctly). Its been a long while since I
had to buy any of this stuff, so I don't recall where we
got it (this was circa 1991). Newark or Allied is
probably a good place to start.
