As much as I don't want to sound ignorant but I don't know what a shrink tube is or where to get one. Does it just stretch onto the original pocket clip?

Shrink tube is used to cover electric connections you find the size that fits as close as you can get it then slide it on then you heat it up i use a lighter it shrinks on to the clip nice and tight. You can find it at a hardware store or a electric supply place . Somewhere here theres a video showing exactlly how to do it thats were i got the idea from might wanna do a search . A lot of guys said it wouldnt last long but mines been on that knife since at least december it gets scuffed up but hasnt worn thru yet .

I tried acetone to get paint off an worked well. Now I was wondering about trying flame anodizing. Would I need to use a small blow torch or would a lighter work?
