Japanese Shrink Grip (Century Style)

Does anyone know where to source Japanese shrink grip like the stuff used on Century rods? Have the standard and xflock available but prefer the almost felt like feel of the japanese shrink. Was referred to veals but they are out of stock. Next step will be contacting century direct but wanted to see what was available on the market. Any sources? Thank you

Looked at the website and couldn't find any detailed information on the shrink from guidesnblanks, just has says plain shrink but cost seems about right. Would hate to order $40 shrink and get same stuff I already have. Did find this stuff through a search.

Anyone ever use or buy from this place?

Would prefer to buy from a sponser or source in US as the first option. Thanks again

On guidesnblanks website, plain shrink tube is what you want, I'm 100% sure because I use it a lot ;)
