+1 on buyheatshrink.com. I've purchased thousands of dollars worth of 
shrink tube from them (for commercial installs) and have been happy with 
the quality, service, and value - their tubing runs about half of what 
3M costs. For connectors I buy the 3 to 1 "dual wall" medium wall black. 
The "dual wall" refers to the adhesive lining.
