John,
I used the common shrink tubing.
Teflon, where do we get that? The
electronics parts store in town did not have any.

Did you try the Teflon type (fairly
tough, and pretty slippery) heat shrink tubing, or the more common
(softer) polyolefin (I think that is the material)?

Steve,
I replaced my
wooden rollers this year also. The old set up used three wooden rollers
separated with rubber tubing. I replaced them with five rubber rollers. Bill
said some people like the rubber ones some do not. I went with the rubber as
they were a few dollars cheaper. I also put heat shrink tubing on the rod as
per Bill suggestion and then put five rollers on using SS washers as spacers.
To make a long
story short, this did not work well. The heat shrink did not hold up. I
removed the shrink
tubing . . .
