Additionally, if operating a heat gun inside, make sure your area iswell ventilated, even if you're wearing a mask. Make sure your

work area is free from any debris that may prove flammable, and

for Pete's sake don't point the heat gun at yourself. That may seemlike common sense, but it's easier to do than you might think.

 Now, with that out of the way, let's see what this heat shrink stuff is

all about.

Step 1

ike some kind of backwards !eorge "ostan#a, shrinkage occurs in this tubing when heat isapplied $hence the name %heat shrink&. (ut how much does it shrink, e)actly* +)cellent

uestion. -electing the proper si#e of heat shrink tubing for your 

 proect is important. Two terms that are important to remember hereare recovered diameter $the diameter after shrinking and e)panded

diameter $the pre/shrinkage diameter. 0n order to get a secure fit, be

sure that the tubing's recovered diameter is smaller than thediameter of the area you're going to insulate. That way, when it

shrinks you'll get a tight fit. At the same time, the tubing's e)panded

diameter needs to be large enough to easily fit over the area to be

insulated, as well as any connectors attached to it. "ommon sensewould dictate that if you can't comfortably fit your bundle or cables

within a tube in the first place, shrinking it won't do you much good.

Step 2

1nce you've determined you have the proper dimensions for yourheat shrink, the ne)t step is to cut the heat shrink tubing to a

usable length, and be sure to allow for a minimum 2345 overlap

over any e)isting insulation or connectors. 6eep in mind thattubing also shrinks lengthwise7typically 8/9: during the

shrinking process. Most heat shrink can be cut easily with

standard scissors, though again if you're -maug or some otherdragon, you may wish

to use your sword/liketeeth or spear/like claws, foregoing both the heat gunand the scissors.

Step 3

 Now you've got everything all measured and cut, so

it's time to slide the cut tubing over the obect, or
