You can also make your own from milk bottles.

Or alternatively just slice off some PVC pipes, then cut a small section out forming a "C" shape (that almost joins), and place over your timber tennon or over your jaws for expansion mode. I have used 20mm up to 150mm, including the wider flanged joiner sizes, to maximise how many of these sleeves I can use.

There will be industrial scale plastic suppliers in your area, or in the nearest semi-metro area. Try one of those.

Cheers,
