Does any of these kits have the adhesive coating inside the tube?

Most places you get shrink tube do not have the self adhesive types.

McMaster-Carr, DigiKey, Newark Electronics and other electronics suppliers should carry it.

Also keep an eye out for 2X shrink tube. It larger to help get over thick parts but will shrink more for a good fit.

Not quite the same, the self adhesive can also help seal the shrink fit, this adds a bit of waterproofing.

Has anyone used the harbor freight tubing? If so is there any negatives to it? I know they sell some stuff that isn't worth having and other stuff is a bargin. I'm just wondering which category their shrink tubing falls under.
