While you are there you might like to look out for some Self
Amalgamating Tape. It's non sticky and only bonds to itself. It's ideal
for wrapping round each end of the foam sleeves to keep them in
place. You pull off the backing, stretch the tape before use and wrap
under slight tension. Just pull the tape till it breaks when you have
finished wrapping.
You may find the sleeving has a cut down it's length that doesn't go
all the way through to the center. It's so you can split it and wrap it
around a pipe. With care the sleeving doesn't split when you push
it over the shoulder stock.

Great to be able to share useful tips!
