Where to buy small diameter heat shrink wrap
Hi: I am looking to shorten my servo lead,so now I am looking for some small diameter heat shrink tubing and the usual suspects( The Source,Home Depot,CTC) don't seem to carry anything smaller than 1/8 dia. The servo wires are pretty small in diamter,so not sure 1/8th will shrink enough for full coverage.Any idea where to pick some up? Thanks,Huck

Try Princess Auto - they have a wide selection of heat shrink in diameters 1mm (between 1/32" and 3/64") and up, and there's one in Hamilton about an hour from Niagara Falls.

better to open the servo and solder at the pc board by the time you cut, splice, add heatshrink, add solder you won't be saving weight, you could just wrap it with a wire tie
