[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1483739, member: 105102"] Instead of shrink tubing, look in the Plumbing section for 10 mill poly tape, (Used for wrapping underground pipe.) I use it on barrels for glassing barrel channels, and it works good, Epoxy doesn't stick well to it, and I bet it's cheaper than heat shrink. One layer is probably enough clearance......That's a lot of epoxy to add just for looks.....If it were me, I would use the tape, and add more layers to the bottom of the barrel, out of sight, and short of the stock tip to make a void under the barrel. This would save some weight and epoxy....Just make sure you don't "trap" it, by getting the tape built out past wider than the finished channel. If that doesn't make since, I can try explain it better....... [/QUOTE]
