Low temp heat shrink

[Rockingit]

Anyone come across heat shrink that activates at really low 60-70deg kind of temp? Have a non electrical application for some if so.

D.I.Y condoms, think you'll find cling film is safer..

Lol. Almost right! Training support for toes and fingers instead of zinc oxide tape.

Have you had a look at cold shrink, or is that no good for your purpose

I use cold shrink,it does the job fine.

Use cold shrink.

If you get taken in to hospital afterwards that's you’re problem!

OK getting serious.

Melanie gauze tube bandage. You will need the applicator for it.

The tubular bandage can come as Tubigrip, it’s no where near as good as Melanie.
Especially as I know why you want it. Legally beating someone up, you have to look after you’re hands and feet!
The cold shrink would be useless, you wouldn’t be able to bend you’re fingers at all.




I’m getting horrible Saturday night visions!

Rock asking the pharmacy assistant for an applicator to fit this………..

Sorry kid, I just couldn’t resist.

Not fingers - they DO have to bend, but I'm fed up of constantly popping/breaking/hyper-extending my big toes and the problem with all the tapes is that they're fiddly to fit in that tight area and also they roll off - all of them. Zinc Oxide is OK for fingers and large joints as they tend to be reasonably uniform so the tape goes on neatly without creases, in fact good old leccy PVC tape is a darn good choice as well, but big toes are an odd shape as they tend to bulge in the middle (well, unless that's only on mine!) so it's easy to get creases, and they catch and cause more damage to you or opponent than you're trying to avoid in the first place!

It occurred to me the other day whilst doing a shrink for work that it was about the right size to neatly slip over my toe and solve all those issues really well - apart from burning the rest of my foot off to shrink it! I didn't think of cold shrink. A solid immobile plastic lump.....brilliant!

Just remember, you've got to get it off afterwards!

A minor detail, minor detail. Scalpel?! But yes, I think all things considered it's just all too messy and complicated - I'll stick with blue PVC!!
