About product

Green heat-shrink tube 2.5 mm from Top Studio

This is a modeling material for finishing hoses and wiring, not a kit. Tube 2.5 mm in diameter is slipped onto a hose or a wire and once heated it draws down around it into a firm sleeve with a sharp edge. On a model you can make a clamp, a hose end fitting or a band tying a wiring bundle together out of it.

What it is for on a motorcycle model

Green is the least usual color of the whole range, and that is precisely its strength. Once the main circuits are set apart in red and blue, the auxiliary routing is left, the breather, the overflow, the hose to the brake fluid reservoir, and for those green is exactly the distinction that does not encroach anywhere else. Its second use is a matter of color: on machines with a green racing livery the sleeves match the rest of the machine and come across as a deliberate feature, not as a random color. The 2.5 mm diameter is the largest in the manufacturer's range, so it will take a thicker hose or a gathered bundle as well.

Usage tips

Cut the rings at a right angle with a new scalpel and keep two lengths at hand: a short ring acts as a clamp, a longer piece as an end fitting. Before shrinking, try an offcut so that you know how markedly the diameter draws down. Apply the heat away from the model or far enough from painted areas, and do not put the tip of a soldering iron against it directly. On a finished model it is safer to fit the sleeve dry and secure it with a drop of super glue. Green looks best on a dark base; on a light gray frame a thin application of dark wash around the sleeve will tone it down a little.

Who it is for

  • Modelers who already have the main circuits set apart and are addressing auxiliary routing
  • Builders of machines with a green racing livery
  • Modelers of cars and formula cars finishing the engine bay
  • Suitable for the less experienced too, although working with heat calls for care

This is a modeling material, not a kit. While shrinking, work at a distance from painted areas and in a well-ventilated room.

FAQ

At the moment when the main circuits are already set apart and you need an extra color for auxiliary routing, such as a breather or an overflow.

You do not. The ring can be fitted dry and secured with a drop of super glue. Shrunk tube holds its shape by itself, though, and follows the outline of the hose better.

It is the largest diameter of the range on offer, so for thicker hoses and for gathered bundles. For a single thin wire use a narrower variant.

On a dark base it looks good. On a light frame you will tone it down with a thin application of dark wash around the sleeve.
