Try the big electrical houses that do wiring panels for submergeble (sp?)
pumps.  They use several id's of the stuff.  It's about $5USD per foot or
so.  The stuff for (i think) 6ga wire will not quite close by its self, it
needs a squeeze with a finger and presto, you're done.  (It's what I use to
stablilize my deans connectors on my rc gear.) The size for 10ga or 12 ga
wire will close up at the end.  Oh, this stuff stays kinda thick, so I'm
sure the inertia of it will be on the order of 5 min or so.
