I just got some shrink wrap tubes to seal off some soldered connections. How the dickens do you get the wrap to shrink? Used a hair dryer on high - ha - didn't do a thing.

I found the goose neck BBQ lighter works well.

heat gun works the best for me, I always burn through the tube with a lighter:bang head:

If you are using the small stuff as I presume you are then I just place the

soldering iron close to the shrink tubing and it will shrink right down.

Be careful not burn a hole it though.

A match works just fine. That stuff shrivels down nice and tight. Much better than using that black electrical tape stuff.

Black tape on wires suck as it will sooner or later start to shrink and leave a sticky mess. If you are making a harness for some wire hockey tape works awesome, it won't shrink and with it and wire loom it looks like factory.
