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.
