With the mark up on shrink tube distributed by tackle companies bordering on the obscene, I'm after recommendations for some sold for the electronic market. What colour and diameter do people use?

Thanks mate. Do you find the 2.5mm works well for most applications? Also do you opt for the 2-1 or 3-1 shrink rate?

I got a bunch of sizes from 1 to 3 mm I think buddy. I use them all depending on size/pattern of hook.

City Electrical Factors (CEF) are a nationwide electrical wholesaler. Every branch I used while in the trade had a counter that sold to the public as well as trade. You'll get your shrink wrap from there at a fraction of the price, I would imagine other electrical wholesalers would do the same but I only ever used CEF.

1.6, 2.4 and 3.2 is good in black and brown. Can't find a decent green though.
