GorillaBob, up above, also mentioned double sided carpet tape and mineral spirits for golf club grips. Just wondering if the golf industry, is just re-branding common hardware store items. Just like the way nail polish remover is just acetone. -Kwok
The only real problem I can see in the future is if you ever need to replace the material it will be a pain in the (bleep) to replace it. I fixed my HP laserjet once and the new rubber for the feed rollers just slipped on, even though it was tight I could never see heatshrink not holding to the roller assembly I would think that scuffing it with 36 grit sandpaper and shrinking it on would work very well.
LOL I just took the time to read the other posts. I see that he DID mention it before me. LOL Great minds think alike, right Bob?
I dropped by work and looked up our supplier for the adhesive lined heatshrink we use. It's NTE electronics inc. the web site for the heat shrink is http://www.nteinc.com/landing_pages/hs_tubing.html They have the doublewall w/adhesive up to 1 1/2" size by 48" length. We don't buy that large of a size at work, but the last purchased price for the 1/2" was $0.90 a foot.
Wow Gefahren. That's great. Thank you so much for doing this!!!! We will give them a call tomorrow and see what material they have available. Mark and Trish
Why not try the rubber tape that they use when re-treading tires, it's adhesive and should provide exceptional grip
Guys, I am trying some neoprene rubber strips on a new set of PVC rollers I made. So far they work just fine. I will be posting pics and more information after I get my computer back up and running. It died a couple days ago and I am just now getting the new hardware running.
