greekskii Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Running out of shrink tubing now and need to replenish the stocks. Always looking out for the cheaper options, problem being I really like the translucent type, the Korda gravel and clay colours are what I've used before. I cant seem to find similar colours for any cheaper. Solid colours I can find on huge rolls. But not these. Anyone found them before? Know of anywhere?

greekskii Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Yeah I'm after 1.2/1.6mm. If nothing turns up it'll be the same stuff. Or the ace stuff. Not a major expense but always interesting to find out B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pooter Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) Do you mean clear when you say translucent ? Perhaps I need a dictionary. Anyway, thats where I got clear stuff from but it was a while back. Sold in metre lengths. Is this any good? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rig-Tubing-Heat-Shrink-in-various-colours-sizes-in-50mm-lengths-/201455971703?var=&hash=item2ee7b62d77:m:mjrvimmOd4C8Ij0ls2WXxoA Edited June 24, 2017 by pooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianain Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Is it worth getting clear/grey and then blobbing it with those coloured marker pens to camouflage? B.C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianain Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 You need to highlight it from the first w and paste it into the address bar, the link I put is the same, but shorter to click on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greekskii Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Can't put a link up at the minute but I'm after similar to the Korda stuff. It's basically see through green or grey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooter Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 They probably buy it by the kilometre on special order. greekskii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooter Posted June 24, 2017 Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 I understand about personal preference and confidence but clear works for me,I would even try red maybe yellow on a runs water too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salokcinnodrog Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I must confess I buy mine direct from Maplins, or Solar Tackle if I need short lengths. I don't worry that the Maplins stuff is black with white writing on it, I'm sure that the carp can't read the small print. yonny, dayvid and greekskii 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
