Looking for Heat-Shrink Electrical Tape
06/18/09 at 20:37:47
I'm looking for heat-shrink tape (that has adhesive) that I could wrap around wire bundles (as I would standard electrical tape) and then shrink with a heat-gun.
Does such a tape exist?
TIA!

Doing the buying for a warehouse I came across the Thomas REgisters. It several volumes of cross referenced manufacturers & products. They are online now. Here is the product end of it.

There used to be just what you were looking for but I haven't seen it in years. Another possibility is "emergency tape" that binds on itself and holds real tight. Also I buy 3m brand electrical tape from an electrical supply store that is tons better than the $0.89 from China. I get it 1 1/2 " wide and it really works well. Found the first roll on the highway where it must have fallen off a PUD truck. Took the spool to the electric store and they ordered me a couple. Max

Walmart sells this stuff as "marind grade heat shrink" ..
I think he was looking for a wrap, maybe that stretch wrap tape they use on new car harnesses would work?
I have wrapped electrical tape, then used liquid tape over it,,,,depends how clean your install is as to how well it stays though.
The 3M 1 1/2 inch stuff is nice.mmmmmm

Thanks to everyone who has tried to help out.
None of the tapes referenced above are sticky at room temperatures. I need something that goes on like electrical tape (sticky) and then can be heat-shrunk.
Any more ideas?

Any good auto parts store will have heat shrink. I had no idea there was so many flavors. I just get whats on the shelf that has the diamiter I need, slide it on, and use a bick lighter to shrink it over the connection.

Hey, Digger, looked to me( I only gave a quick scan) like one of those would wrap & hold, then shrink tight. If youve been thru the products in the Thomas Register & havent found what you need exactly, you may need to try one of these that you dont really think will do what you want. If I was where you are in your hunt, Id call Grainger supply & see if they have a product available to solve your problem. If thats a bust, Id ask them if they had a clue who might be able to help. Then Id call an electrical supply house & tell them I needed to heat shrink a loom w/o unhooking it & see what they have. Let me know how it goes, cuz heat shrinking in the middle of a harness would be great.
Edit: Grainger is wholesale only, but all you need is a business name & the owners name & you can buy. The local bike shop owner lets me use his place as long as I dont buy from Grainger what I could get from him.
& Ohh yea, maybe dosing the area( lightly) w/ the liquid electrical tape, letting it set up, then wrapping with a shrink tape would make the seal you want.

I found some tape that fit the bill at Centennial Electronics (here in the Springs on Bijou).
It does indeed have adhesive that is active at room temperature. I tested a bit of it out today. The shrink ratio appears to be less than 2:1, but it seems as if it will work great for my needs.
You can find it online at:

Thanks to all who helped out!
