Anyone know where I can find heat shrink large enough for coils? Can't seem to find anything at my local hardware stores and suggestions for company online?

There's nothing worse than having to leave open the door and run around with Dettol spray after they've gone. I bet most of us have had unpleasant experiences with "Stinkers"-we're drifting off topic aren't we?

Something I forgot to bring up, coils can be made to look nice if you don't go with a wrap but apply several coats of clear laquer. Now I don't know the process for this-what stuff to use, how many coats etc, but if any of our members are familiar with this it'd be good to know.

Older electronic stores carry it, also comes in red, green and yellow. It called something like wire lacquer. It is pretty cool stuff.

Lowe's normally has it if you don't have an electronic store in your area like a Radio Shack...I get mine from a place called Baynesville Electronics..they have every color, size and type you could ever want. For a 4' piece of clear you'll pay like $13

If you want to buy in bulk (10 meters), I've had really good service from this seller (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TATTOO-MACHINE-COILS-HEAT-SHRINK-TUBE-SUPER-CLEAR-/280806518876) on ebay.

Haha I thought someone might like those! His coils are awesome too but they are dipped or sprayed with some form of clear coat.

LOL no, just clear coat over the wire :p I haven't used the shrink wrap I just bought some coils and armature bars etc from him because they looked really well finished (they were).

I'm wondering if the clear coat is the type you would buy from a garage, something like this is what I would consider.........................
