"Ancient Heat-Shrink SECRETS"
(Shhh!! - Top Secret)Prop-making With Gordon Comments from past customers
For micro ESC's like Pixies, HF9s and others and for AAA-diameter cells such as 50 mAh NiCd and 110 NiMHs. ![]()

Notice how little slack there is around the individual cell in the picture on the right. The 5/8" size is good for AAA-size individual cells, but depending on how you run the wires and other factors, this size may not (probably will not) work with AAA-size single-stick packs.
1" Tubing fits:
Note: 1" tubing can cover single-stick 50 mAh packs but is not small enough to curl over the edge of the positive pole to properly insulate individual cells. To cover individual small cells, use the 5/8" size shown above. ![]()

No battery pictures here. The 2.5" is for use with helicopter rotor blades. Click HERE for more info on covering heli blades.3" tubing fits:
You can also try a "starter order" of CS tubing by sending a $10 check, a self-addressed business-size stamped envelope (SASE) and a list of the sizes you want to receive 10 pieces of tubing cut to 9" length (so they fit in the envelope). ![]()
Sub-C cells covered with 3" tubing. (Single cell is covered with 1.5")

Ladder configurations with AAA (left) and AA (right) cells
Sizing Tip: If you're not sure what size tubing you need, here's how to figure it out:
- Wrap the object you're trying to cover with a strip of paper (make sure that the strip goes around the widest part of the object).
- Trim the strip so the two ends touch each other
- Fold the strip in half and measure the folded length.
- The size CS you need is anywhere between the length you measured and 45% more than that. For instance, if your folded strip is 2.4" wide, you can use your choice of either 2.5", 3" or 4" wide tubing. If your strip measures .9" you can use either 1" or 1.5" (but not 2"). Etc, etc.
