Most of the examples I saw used sleeves rather than rigid tube

It's been a while since I've ordered some but if I recall properly I used 1/2" sleeves. It will expand and contract to cover most kits. The only problem I had was it will ravel while you just look at it. I would use tape to tape the ends to stop the raveling and have an extra 1" on each end to compensate for it. After the glue dried I would trim the ends.

Yep.. 1/2" sleeves. Check the library too as there is a tutorial there.
