I find that large diameter heat shrink sleeving which is large
enough to
passes over wide parts of my cables does not contract enough to
hold the actaul cable when they are heated heated.

Is it possible in the UK to buy just one or two rolls of heat
shrink TAPE? I mean something similar to regular self-adhesive
PVC insulation tape but which contracts when heated. Does such a
thing exist?

My web searches such as this one at Farnell's
http://snipurl.com/skla return heat shrink SLEEVES which is not
what I want.

Search for "Self Amalgamating Tape"

I am the OP. The only time I used self-amalgamating tape it was a
squishy thing when it was finished. I would much rather have
something "drier" and less sticky as a final finish.
