<span style=3D"font-family: helvetica; font-size: 12pt;">Glue-lined heat=
shrink is cheap, easy, fast and effective. I use it on my boat for e=
very wire splice putting it over a glue-lined wire splice connector or end =
terminal. Just remember to slip the heat shrink on before you finish =
the splice or attach the terminal. I've been very pleased with the pr=
e-cut tubes from Wirefy from Amazon (<a href=3D"https://www.amazon.com/dp/B=

n.com/dp/B09NW7954L?ref_=3Dppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_4</a>) but=
you can also get good quality bulk rolls from Amazon which can be more eco=
nomical than the pre-cut selections.</span>

But we probably got it from DigiKey back when I was buying it. Y=
