Shucks,
Why wast money on heat shrink buy some hose not only that, you can get
it in more colours, pull a pull twine through it (use a vacuum and suck
it through) and pull the two cables through the hose, get a size that is not
too big and has a nice color.... I do not know how much 100ft of heat shrink
will cost but it also gets pretty stiff as it cools down and contracts.
