Ginsco270Pcs 3:1 Shrink Ratio Dual Wall Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing Tube 6 Size: 3/8",1/4",3/16",1/8",3/32",1/16", 2 Color KIT Black Red

These Adhesive lined 3:1 Heat Shrink Tubes are TRUELY water Resistant & are Easy to shrink using anything from a cigarette lighter to a soldering iron, just don't melt the tube by holding the heating source in one spot for Too Long & also the adhesive will run out of each end of the tube to signify that the water Resistant seal is being bonded & after the cool down period the tubing becomes quite Rigid & will Definitely hold up to most Stress that they're subjected to !! Also I have Never had any connections turning loose due to lack of fusion/Shrinkage !! I HIGHLY Recommend to ALL !!!!

UPDATE 2020: bought this several times now.. seen low reviews due to "lack of adhesive" I don't know.. all of mine have had adhesive, maybe look closer? It's definitely has adhesive. Still good quality heatshrink!!!Tired of poor cable design?!! Is your cable ripped to shreds and still works but seems janky and unsafe?!! Now youre contemplating spending a Jackson or two on apple certified cables?!! is apple stealing your money with the same cable desing?! Yes!! Did your earphones stop working on one side unless you press the jack?!! Now you're looking into blowing cash on those measly airpods or buying a new set of wired beats?! Well maybe it's too late for you but for those ripped charging cables Ive got the solution for you!!! I bought these a while back for automotive pod light installs which I soldered SAE quick connector and for radio wiring harness to hold all the cables together instead of zipties and to sleeve crimp connectors... And they've all held up incredibly well.. other than a couple solar projects or xt60s connectors (these work amazing for those) I've been using the larger sizes to increase the life of accessory cables, or wrap USB flashdrives, add grips to pencils and what ever I feel like needs one lol, Unlike normal heatshrink that eventually slides off this ones sealing adhesive is the best for this purpose. I have a lightning connector thats from an iPod touch I bought back in 2013 the plastic sleeves were ripped to shreds and torn but the cable still worked. After I patched it its still in use today. Today I patched another lightning connector.. it was an iPad cable and realized I need more... It's great seeing so many reviews doing this sort of stuff I've been doing for years! I'm back here reviewing because I want to add to the good experience I've had with these and definitely because I'm ordering more

8-25-18I'm reviewing the Ginsco Black & Red heat shrink tubing. I was jus looking to restock some of my electrical work supplies and these caught my eye.I've already purchased and used their adhesive filled, heat shrink, butt connectors and they worked out great. I've ordered Ginsco products twice before this order. It was kind of difficult to find a brand as good as those sold in the Automotive parts stores but, for much less in cost. I think Ginsco products are it. I can buy 5 times the amount for the same price I'd pay in stores. I came across this brand from a referral on a YT video and friend of mine. I'm glad I tried them out.The only thing I did not like on THIS particular product, was the lack of adhesive or sealant, or at least, not like in the other marine grade heat shrink tubing, terminals, & connectors, where it oozes out the ends. To me, this is reassuring that there won't be corrosion. It does mention having adhesive in the description. I truly like the marine grade types, as they for 1, seal out the moisture, and 2, the adhesive keeps the heatshrink from sliding out of place, from where you want to protect the wire.This was why I rated 4 stars, instead of 5.I bought this from the seller "GinscoDirect" but fulfilled by Amazon, which I feel is important to list this info. I've come across sellers with variances in their items, including knockoffs, even if listed as same brand. I'll post an update with a durability review.

Loaded with glue but it's really easy to burn through, have to keep the heat low and moving even more so then has been the case in my limited experience with other heat shrinks, takes some practice. If you do burn a hole though glue comes exploding out like a cyst and seals up well enough. After about 5 trial runs I was able to get it without burning. Probably not the best but a good place to start considering I'll burn through half of the box getting a feel for using heat shrink. The second smallest size barley fits over 18 awg and is usable as long as you go easy on the heat and stop once you see glue, as such I found the sizing selection to be fine.

I'm not one for writing reviews for small things, but this deserved my attention. I have been using it a lot lately and compared to some stuff I got with all the colors of the rainbow (don't you just hate that?), this performs way better. It has excellent shrink so I could use some of the pieces that are too large and shrink it to size. The other stuff I have you have to be specific with the sizes, and if you soldered up a nasty join you don't get a clean seal. I normally get good lean joints but unfortunately some of the wires I opened up had been oxidized black and they were a pain to get the solder to stick to so... fat joints for me. I don't have that problem with these shrink tubes covering those joints and still being able to shrink down to the smaller cable diameter, and they're just red and black to indicate positive and negative (my purpose is automotive). When I run out of this I will be buying it again for sure. There is a great selection of sizes

I have used these on multiple occasions and they are great! The adhesive lining means they stay put once heated!
