Greetings.  Somewhere along the way, I seem to recall hearing that
heat shrink tubing was made of an irradiated rubber material.
Does anyone out there know if this is true?  If so, what is the
material irradiated with?  I would assume it would have to be a gamma
source, otherwise there would be residual radioactivity, which I
assume is not present with heat shrink tubing?!

Any reponses by mail please--I'll summarize info.  Thanks.
