Using this heat shrink tubing is easy. First, select the appropriate size tube for your wire, which should be within the 12 - 8 AWG range. Slip the tube onto the wire before making any connections. Once your wire is ready, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly around the tube. The tube will start to shrink when it reaches 257°F / 125°C, and the adhesive lining will activate to create a strong seal. Make sure to heat the tube slowly and evenly to ensure a proper shrink. As for maintenance, this tubing is quite durable. It can withstand salt water, oil, acids, and sunlight. However, keep it in a cool, dry place when not in use. Also, be aware that this product contains di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical that can cause health issues. Avoid direct contact with the chemicals and follow the safety guidelines on P65Warnings.ca.gov.
