Wtd: 8cm or so heatshrink tube - 25mm diameter

Posted on
  • Hey, wondering if anyone has a short offcut or spare bit of heatshrink tube going spare - I'm making a little climbing rope dog lead and want to try tidying up the loose ends off the knots with a bit... Rope is 11mm so I guess 25mm starting diameter of the heatshrink would be right as it would shrink down to the double thickness and the single thickness of the rope - in fact if anyone could confirm that it would also be great as I've never used it before 😁

    About 8cm or so total would be amaze 👍🏼

  • I’ve picked mine up in last year off eBay ,most of the sellers have descriptions of internal diameter before and after heating

  • Normally you only want the heart shrink to be 25% bigger than what your diameter you want to cover is, your rope will compress as well. Most common are 2:1 and 3:1 ratios. You also need to bear in mind that heat shrink shrinks down and in, thinner and smaller. I've got tubes up to 10mm or then 40. Rs is a good place to get some.

  • Red or black?

    Pm me and i can stick some in the post today

  • thanks for the input people, really useful - Matisse, thank you that would be great, will message shortly.
