Using this heat shrink tubing is easy. First, make sure the wire you're working with is within the 12 - 8 AWG range. Slide the tubing onto the wire. Then, use a heat source to heat the tubing until it reaches 257°F / 125°C. As it heats up, it will shrink to 1/3 of its original size and the adhesive lining will activate, creating a tight seal. Remember, this product can expose you to harmful chemicals, so handle it with care. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If you notice any signs of damage or wear, replace the tubing to ensure it works effectively.
