Default Braided loom making?

I am just about to re-make a car loom using braided covering and i was wondering if anywhere sold the head wrap for covering loom joints with glue or soething like that in it so as to stop the braid moving? Or does anyone have any tips for making the looms up?

It needs to have glue inside it so it does not move along the braiding.

You don't need glue, the heatshrink should be a tight sealed fit.
