Using this heat shrink tubing is easy. First, select the appropriate tube according to your needs. Make sure to clean the area where you'll use the tubing to ensure a good fit. Slide the tube over the object you want to cover. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to heat the tubing evenly. Keep the heat gun moving to avoid overheating in one spot. The tubing will start to shrink once it reaches 257°F (125°C). As it shrinks, the adhesive lining will create a seal. When using this product, be aware of the warning about the chemicals it may contain. Avoid contact with skin and eyes as much as possible. For maintenance, store the tubing in a cool, dry place. Don't expose it to extreme temperatures outside the operating range of - 40°C to 110°C, as this could affect its performance.
