Using this Ancor heat shrink tubing is easy. First, make sure the surface of the object you're covering is clean and dry. Slip the tubing over the area you want to protect. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the tubing. When the temperature reaches 257°F / 125°C, the tubing will start to shrink. Keep moving the heat source to ensure uniform shrinking until it reaches 1/3 of its original size. For safety, always wear heat - resistant gloves when using a heat gun. Don't overheat the tubing as it might damage the adhesive lining. When not in use, store the tubing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain its quality and extend its lifespan.
