Default RE: API Treestands - shrink tubing

ORIGINAL: vadeer

ORIGINAL: bowman15

. . . I just replaced the heat-shrink tubing on the chains a couple weeks ago. It's not too heavy at all, and I do some hiking when I'm hunting. . . .
Any advice on where to purchase shrink tubing and how to replace existingtubing?I read where a hair dryer is hot enough, others writeuse a propane torch. So far, I've only found two sources to purchase tubing: Ebay and Order Out doors.
I replaced my shrink tubing with regular vinyl tubing that you can buy at home depot. To make it fit, you pop out the plastic bushings in the tubes and you're good to go. I've been using the same tubing for at least 3 or possibly 4 years with no signs of wear.
