Foam Pipe Insulation, 1" Foam Tubing for Guitar Rack , Utensils,and Roof Rack, etc-- 1"(25mm) ID 1-23/32"(43mm) OD - 6Ft (1 x 1-23/32)

We bought these for a different purpose which was to make the sharp foot rest bars of our barstools not hurt our bare feet. They are nice pottery barn barstools we received for free so we didn't want to just get rid of them but they were definitely designed with shoe wearing guests in mind. I cut them into pieces and sliced one side of each piece to slip them over the foot rest bars. Worked like a charm and now we can comfortably use our bar stools. Nice thickness and easy to cut/slice. The foot rest bars were a flat rectangular metal and the slightly flattened shape of this insulation was the perfect fit.

I use this for many purposes and especially works great for handle padding. More rugged and heat resistant than polyethylene tubing too.

Used these over 1" wood dowels in wall rack to protect exotic hardwood canes

WORKED FOR WHAT I NEEDED

Average quality foam insulation tube. Was slightly loose for my application. The deal breaker was that it has markings/writing all over the outside which may not matter for some, but it did for me. So, do not purchase if that impacts the appearance of your project.

Used this to keep the vamp elevated in my Cowboy Boots. Shoe trees stretched my boots out. Just needed a firm elevation to eliminate the sag and this did the trick. Cut it in half for one pair of boots, two folds on square toe boots and three folds on round toe boots. These extra length is tucked back down with the u-bend on top and super easy removal. Try it!

Used it to pad the ladder on my son's bunk bed. Worked nicely

I'm trying to insulate some methanol injection lines under the hood to minimize vaporization air pockets. I've bought 1/4" ID foam insulation tubing here before but forgot the vendor. THIS is not the good one. This tubing stays smooshed/compressed once bent or pinched. The vendor rolled it up tight in a spiral to fit it into a bubble envelope. When released, it permanently deformed and rendered useless. Luckily, it was only a few bucks. If you're looking for consistent, even, functional insulation tubing, try another vendor.
