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.

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