If you need to improvise adhesive lined heatshrink, then shaving a few
slithers off a hotmelt gluestick and slipping them inside the tube
alongside the cable before you shrink it also works well. As you heat it
to shrink the tube the glue melts and flows round the inside.

Nice improv & dismount, I'll keep that in mind for when I can't find the
lined stuff. How about gooping with hotmelt then applying the sleeving
and shrinking to re-melt?

Yup, that works as well... I have a mini blowtorch kit I got from maplin
many years back, that has a glue gun attachment. The attachment I never
seem to use, but the dinky glue sticks that came with it are ideal for
this sort of thing - just heat the end of one, and wipe it down the wire
to deposit some gloop.
