Hey folks,
Just wanted to pass this one along. I picked this up and it makes wiring work much more pleasant- it's easier to keep track of things and cleans up the mess of wiring in the car too. It's making my MegaSquirt/EFI wiring job much nicer.
Something that's just good to have lying around, and cheap.

Yep, I have been using heatshrink for about 40 years.

Ditto, the stuff is worth it's weight in gold. Then again, it doesn't weigh much.
Also a note, if you're using the stuff to cover soldered wire connections, get the kind with glue inside. It is completely air and watertight after heating.

Never heard of this type of heatshrink. Can you post a link? TIA.
