Additionally, if operating a heat gun inside, make sure your area is

well ventilated, even if you're wearing a mask. Make sure your
work area is free from any debris that may prove flammable, and
for Pete's sake don't point the heat gun at yourself. That may seem
like common sense, but it's easier to do than you might think.
Now, with that out of the way, let's see what this heat shrink stuff is
all about.

Step 1
Like some kind of backwards George Costanza, shrinkage occurs in this tubing when heat is
applied (hence the name heat shrink). But how much does it shrink, exactly? Excellent
question. Selecting the proper size of heat shrink tubing for your
project is important. Two terms that are important to remember here
are recovered diameter (the diameter after shrinking) and expanded
diameter (the pre-shrinkage diameter). In order to get a secure fit, be
sure that the tubing's recovered diameter is smaller than the
diameter of the area you're going to insulate. That way, when it
shrinks you'll get a tight fit. At the same time, the tubing's expanded
diameter needs to be large enough to easily fit over the area to be
insulated, as well as any connectors attached to it. Common sense
would dictate that if you can't comfortably fit your bundle or cables
within a tube in the first place, shrinking it won't do you much good.

Step 2
Once you've determined you have the proper dimensions for your
heat shrink, the next step is to cut the heat shrink tubing to a
usable length, and be sure to allow for a minimum 1/4" overlap
over any existing insulation or connectors. Keep in mind that
tubing also shrinks lengthwisetypically 5-7% during the
shrinking process. Most heat shrink can be cut easily with
standard scissors, though again if you're Smaug or some other
dragon, you may wish
to use your sword-like
teeth or spear-like claws, foregoing both the heat gun
and the scissors.

Step 3
Now you've got everything all measured and cut, so
it's time to slide the cut tubing over the object, or

objects, or small animal (JUST KIDDING - DON'T) that you're covering. If you'll be splicing
two cables together, slide the tubing over the center of the splice, and allow for equal overlap on
both sides, so that the entire splice itself is fully covered. but when I kiss you, it's like kissing my
brother. I guess that doesn't make any sense, does it?

Step 4
Before shrinking, check your tubing's specifications for the recommended heating temperature.
Any commercial heat gun or heat shrink oven can be used to shrink the tubing. Since
uncontrolled heat can cause uneven shrinkage, physical damage and insulation failure, the use of
open flame is not recommended. So turn off the gas stove top and put the blowtorches and
flamethrowers away. Seriously, heat guns are not that expensive.

Step 5
If you're covering a long length of cable with
tubing, begin shrinking at one end, and gradually
work your way down to the other. To ensure that
the tubing shrinks evenly and without air bubbles,
rotate the project as you're applying heat.
Evenly apply heat over the length and around the
diameter of the tubing, until it is uniformly
shrunken and conforms to the shape of the cable,
hose, splice or action figure that it's covering.
Immediately remove the heat source, and allow the
tubing to cool slowly before you apply physical
stress to it.
Make sure to avoid over-heating. The last thing you want is charred, brittle heat shrink tubing
after you've spent all that time and dragon breath.
Tip: Silicone lubricant spray can be applied to wires or cords to guide heat shrink over them
without compromising the heat shri
