Not sure what you mean by ridged but McMaster-Carr has a huge selection available in 36" lengths.

Thanks. I guess maybe thick wall would be a better description. I’m looking for something around .100 thick wall. I know it exists because I’ve seen it in appliances, industrial controls, etc. McMaster has some 6:1 that would fit the bill but it’s crazy expensive. Waytek has what they call heavy duty shrink but it’s adhesive wall...... in the end I may end up using that.

How about non-adhesive wall tubing covered with 2 or 3 adhesive wall tubes ?

That might work and I would probably only need one adhesive wall layer to get the total thickness I'm looking for.

First, yes, it will be crazy expensive. I have some stuff (too big for you) that is between $5 and $10 per foot.
However, AFAIK, the thick stuff will all be adhesive, at least all the stuff I have is.

I had to do a double take on McMaster 6:1 polyolefin 7831K51 at $39.82 per foot!
