Our low friction tapes are designed specifically for telescoping tubing. Use as a spacer between tubes of varying diameters to provide smooth sliding action as well as long life of your assembly. Also, you can prevent telescoping tubes from pulling apart by placing tape on the inner diameter of larger tube (at far end) and the outer diameter of smaller tube (at close end). Repeat for numerous tubes in same telescoping set. The acrylic adhesive has a strong bond, even to cello-wrapped gloss tubing finishes.
