Anyone know where I can get earth, and blue sleeve to go over 10mm insulated cable or even the size I need I have shrinky stuff but jeez it aint aint easy not melting stuff, yeah I know should have done it before I stuffed it into the cu but I have done 3 sub boards at one end before the penny dropped

Why not use L or N tape or brown, blue or gy stripey?
I know with some cheap insulating tape the glue goes all gooey when subject to a bit of heat as may be encountered in a dist board but the scotch 35 grade stuff won't
 
SWA do reels of Brown Blue and green and Yellow. I know they do 6mm, 4 and 3 so it might be worth checking whether they do 10. Ten or 20 metres on the reel. Useful when you dont need 100 metres
 
I tend to get the packs from CEF. I think it's SWA stuff. Otherwise Cablecraft (.co.uk) do all the different sleeving you could ever want and they do normal sized CPC sleeving on a roll so you dont have to carry a birds nest around with you!
 
You would presumably need 8mm sleeving to go over 10mm² insulated cable as the sleeving is measured in diameter and the cable in area. The 10mm² would have a 3.6mm diameter core and about 2mm total thickness of insulation, so 6mm sleeving would be tight to fit. There would be nothing stopping you from using heat shrink that starts at 8mm diameter and not shrinking it.
