Distributor for small pieces of Teflon insulating tubing?

[Tim Shoppa]

Can anyone recommend a distributor for short lengths of Teflon
insulating tubing? (As in for 18, 22, etc. gauge wire). Mouser lists
it but min order is 1000 feet... I only need a foot or two of each
size. Tim.

http://www.amidoncorp.com/ lists a few sizes (for 12, 13, 14,16, 18
gauge bare wire) by-the-foot, in their "Ham pricing" section. Look
under "Tapes and wires".

You might find it easier to locate solid or stranded wire which is
pre-insulated with Teflon.

If you just need short pieces it might be easier to strip some Teflon
wire and use the insulation.
