I bought a bunch of this in various sizes for various coax / hardline
sizes for a VERY good price off eBay. Works great and so far the
results have been what I expected. In addition to waterproofing the
back end it helps support and stiffen the coax to connector joint. I
have it in sizes from 1/8 inch to over 2 inches (all pre-shrunk
sizes). Be aware that there are also various degrees of shrinkage
available. Some shrink 2 to 1 and some 3 to 1 and there may be even
more.
I searched on the word Flooded Heat Shrink to find it...
