[TowerTalk] Adhesive lined heat shrink for connectors

[Richard Thorne]

I noticed while I was picking up some zerk fittings for a rotating tower 
project,  that our local Fastenal store had a display of adhesive heat 
shrink tubing.

I wish to buy some of the same for all of my connectors, plus some to cover the entire junction of various cables. The greatest OD change I have is from 1-5/8" heliax (2.5" OD connector) down to an N-connector on RG-214/U (0.81"). I see some 3:1 and 4:1 adhesive lined heat shrink on ebay (from overseas) but thought I would ask what is the best brand or type and where to get it.
