Default Heat Shrink

Just curious where you folks buy your heat shrink for wiring. Going to pickup something like a 100' roll of it. Anyone know what diameter I should buy? It seems they're not listed by gauge, but the physical diameter of the wire. Preferably the stuff with the glue stuff inside of it would be ideal. Thanks.

www.grainger.com has tons of it and it's pretty cheap.

Harbor freight, comes in huge bags for like $3. Multiple color coded sizes. I have enough in every gauge up to 2" to last me years.

wow... just wow. i wrote this exact post, more or less, just this morning. then i wasn't happy with it and had to leave anyway so i just closed the window.

weeeiiirrrd!

i'm more wondering about the many different types. i'd like a large quantity, but i'm wondering what size (or sizes) are of best use to the general RC hobbyist.
