What should I use to shrink Ancor Marine shrink wrap tubing?

The stuff on electric connections, a cigarette lighter, heat gun?


Thanks, Rob

A hair dryer might be a little tuff. I use a heat gun. I splerged and bought a good one at Grainger.

I almost always use a disposable lighter. I also like to use those charcoal lighters that have basically a disposable lighter in the handel and a long snoot. Either way, I'd guess I've shurnk two and a half miles of the stuff since I started using it in the early 70's. Used to be you could only get it in places that sold supplys for aircraft maintainence. I used to get it at a place near the airport in Miami back when I was wireing custom bikes for a little cash. Goodness, I'm getting old .....
