Heat Shrink - How to Help

Hello John,

In the below photo from my control panel you can see the black covering for the LED leads and the attached resistor and wires. That is heat shrink tubing.  You can see the form of the resistor under the tubing for the yellow wire on the right.

I also use a Bic type lighter, as David does, but I use the fireplace lighters with the long neck in case I want to get into tight places.

Cheers

Denny

I use a heat gun that is made for heat-shrink use, it has a nice curved plate on the snout that wraps around the joint and distributes heat on all sides.  Makes short work of shrinking the tubing.

Thanks everybody for the great responses.  I *think* I now know enough to actually start doing the wiring I need.  Now just to make sure to get all the pieces together in the same place (and wait for some free time).  Thanks again!
