Heat shrink tubing

Post by Belix »

Anyone know a good electronic shop in JHB, pref northern suburbs?
I just want a little heat shrink tubing to make a power adapter and the places online seem to want to only sell me kg of the stuff!
Thanks folks.

Comunica has, but they're in Midrand. I don't know JHB at all so I can't be much help :(

Guys, considering Belix needed this more than two weeks ago, I'm sure he'd come right by now? :roll:

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Thanks guys - Well yes and no. Found a mate with some, will check builders express again. Asked there before the guy said "eh?".

If the heatshrink is smooth and glossy, leave it alone. Only get the matt variants, they are better quality.
