Using this adhesive lined heat shrink tubing is easy. First, cut the tubing to the appropriate length for your wire. Slip the tubing onto the wire where you need it. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the tubing. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid overheating. As the tubing heats up to 257°F / 125°C, it will shrink down to 1/3 of its original size and the adhesive lining will activate, creating a tight seal. When using this product, be aware of the warning about chemicals. If you're in California, check P65Warnings.ca.gov for more information. To maintain the tubing, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. This will help keep it in good condition for future use.
