Using the Ancor heat shrink tubing is easy. First, cut the tubing to the right length for your project. Slip it over the area you want to cover. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to heat the tubing evenly. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid overheating. The tubing will start to shrink and form a tight seal around the object.
When using, make sure to wear heat-resistant gloves to protect your hands from the hot tubing. Don't use the tubing in areas with extremely high temperatures that exceed its operating range of -40°C to 110°C.
To maintain the tubing, store it in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing it to sharp objects that could damage it. If the tubing gets dirty, you can gently wipe it clean with a soft cloth.
