When wiring up our model airplanes, it is often necessary to solder connections for servo leads, switch assemblies, ignition systems, etc. With these small gauge wires, it is difficult to tape them neatly. Further, any exposure to glow fuel, or especially a little gasoline residue, and the tape joint becomes a gooey mess. I always use shrink wrap tubing for my connections. It always irritated me that the hobby shops and Radio Shack charge so much for a little shrink tubing.

I bought the twenty dollar box, and it's enough shrink tubing to last for a very long time!
