heat shrink sleeving

[falcophil]

hi folks, had to replace the relay on my bike a while back. the alarm wiring had heat shrink sleeving, which I could only replace with tape.
I have now got some sleeving to do the job properly, but don,t know how much heat to apply. Is this a hot airgun job, or something more/less?

a decent hairdrier has always worked for me, at work we always used a heat gun which was pretty much the same :)

As Mick says I always use a heat gun. There pretty cheap and your be surprised how frequently you use it.

I use a heat gun, just make sure that you dont hold it it the same place for long, otherwise you will burn the sleeving
