Neopreme Shrink Tube?

I have been using other types of shrink tube for grips the last couple of years, and was recently asked about Neopreme shrink tube. I see it mentioned ina few places, but I've hit a dead end in finding a supplier. Anyone know who carries it? Anyone use it before? Thanks.

Not sure that's it Allen. The flocked tubing from Amtak is just a rubber, the stuff I am looking for is actually shrinkable neopreme. By the way, I use a heat gun for the shrink tube and never have any issues ;)

If they do not have it NOBODY will. They were VERY helpful with all of my questions and even sent me a free product sample pack......BUT....Their minimum purchase was to much $$$ for me to handle as they sell in 100' lengths for the most part.

Thanks derek. They have it like you said, but minimum orders are a killer! I can't imagine none of the advertisers carry it! What did you think of the sample they sent out?

The samples showed some real quality and a good range of colors including flourescents in addition to the standard options..
