Troubleshooting
Tubing is not shrinking evenly.
Ensure the heat source is applied evenly around the tubing, rotating the wire or cable as needed. Increase the heat slightly if necessary, but avoid overheating.
Tubing is not shrinking tightly enough.
Increase the heat applied, but be careful not to damage the wire or cable underneath. Ensure the correct size of tubing was selected.
Tubing has become brittle or cracked after heating.
The tubing may have been overheated. Reduce the heat and ensure even application next time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Preparation: Ensure the wires or cables are clean and free of debris. Select the appropriate size of heat shrink tubing for the application. If necessary, cut the tubing to the required length.
Application: Slide the tubing over the area to be insulated. Center the tubing over the connection or exposed wire.
Heating: Use a heat gun (recommended) or a hairdryer to apply heat evenly around the tubing. Rotate the wire or cable to ensure uniform shrinking. The tubing will shrink until it tightly grips the wire or cable.
Cooling: Allow the tubing to cool completely before handling or moving the insulated wire or cable. Do not overheat the tubing, as this can damage it or the underlying wire.
Care: Store the heat shrink tubing set in its original sectioned plastic carry box in a cool, dry place. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep out of reach of children.
