i went to an electronic surplus store and bought some heat shrink tubing in various sizes...
anyways, some say they are glue lined on the inside and some are not.
i think the more stiff ones where glue lined.
what is the glue for, and is it bad for certain wiring?
or are they just a matter of preference? (some of mine have it and some don't.) |

The glue lined stuff is about moisture sealing. I have sealed wires for direct ocean submersion with the stuff... if your wires are real clean it actually works.
:D |

oh, thanks man.
so the glue has no adverse effect on wires?
guess it's no different from insulation once it dries.
i was just asking because when i bought them i heard the guy before me asking for non glue-lined tubing.
maybe cause he likes it more flexible then. |

Actually,
There are differnet kinds of glue for different jobs. The most common stuff is the same as the glue sticks in a hot glue gun...
Won't hurt the wires a bit... |
