Using this heat shrink tubing is easy. First, make sure your wire is clean and dry. Slip the tubing over the wire. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the tubing. Keep the heat source moving to avoid overheating. The tubing will start to shrink at 257°F / 125°C and will shrink to 1/3 of its original size. Once it's fully shrunk, it will form a tight seal around the wire. Be careful! This product can expose you to harmful chemicals. Always work in a well - ventilated area. When storing, keep it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
