srink tube
« on: July 12, 2011, 12:03:33 pm »
     I've only seen srink tube one time that was big enough to but on  BOW FOR A HANDLE. I got it a long time ago at a flea market. It had 1 1/8  on the package it was in. It was 12"s long yesterday while digging a little under a wood bench I found the other half I saved for a handle. Had'nt thought about it for years.REALLY FORGOT IT.
   The thing is I guess the heat had got to it or something. Because it had srunk to about 1/2. This makes a really good handle if you like that rubber felling.  Dose anyone see or know where I might buy this again. I like to use it on a kids bow. Looks like it would hold up to anything. This bow has been setting around a FEW years. It started out for someone who wanted 80 #s but it took a couple inchs of set, so I stated over. I'd like to finish it up.

Bike inner tubes work for most smalller grips.

Look for an electrical supplier. They use it on cable ends.

Are you talking about the tubes that shrink with heat or the soft rubber tubes that are expanded then when you remove the inner support it shrinks around the object you want to put it on? if it is the latter possibly electrical supply stores. I work for a the local phone co. and we use to use them to seal the splice caps to the two cable ends. and yes it makes a nice soft handle wrap
