FAQ

Q: Can I use a hairdryer instead of a heat gun?
A: A hairdryer may not provide enough heat for proper shrinkage. For best results, we recommend using a heat gun.

Q: Is this tubing waterproof?
A: The tubing provides a seal against moisture but is not entirely waterproof. For waterproof applications, consider adhesive-lined heat shrink tubing.

Q: Can I purchase individual colours separately?
A: Currently, this pack is only available as a multi-colour assortment. Check our other products for individual colour options.

Instructions

• Select the Appropriate Size: Ensure the tubing size matches your wire or component.
• Cut to Length: Trim the tubing to the required length.
• Slide Over the Component: Position the tubing over the area to be insulated.
• Apply Heat: Use a heat gun to heat the tubing until it shrinks tightly and evenly.
• Inspect: Check for a uniform fit without gaps or air pockets.
