Using this adhesive lined heat shrink tubing is easy. First, cut the tube to the length you need. Slide it onto the wire you want to cover. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the tube. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid overheating. The tube will start to shrink and the adhesive will melt, creating a tight seal. When you're done, make sure the tube has cooled down completely before handling it. As for maintenance, keep the tubing in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you notice any signs of damage or wear, replace the tubing. And remember, this product can expose you to harmful chemicals, so always follow safety guidelines and avoid prolonged exposure.
