| + | [* black] Measure the diameter of the wire, and then choose a piece of heat shrink that will be large enough to slide onto the wire before heating but will still provide a snug fit once heated. The shrunken diameter should be slightly smaller than the wire's diameter to ensure a tight fit. |
|---|---|
| + | [* icon_note] Heat shrink tubing has a shrink ratio that dictates how much the tubing will shrink once heated, so it's important to choose the right ratio for the job. For example, a length of 2:1 ratio tubing with a diameter of 4 cm will shrink to a diameter of 2 cm. |
| [* black] Measure a length of heat shrink tubing to cover the damaged section of wire. | |
| - | [* icon_note] Most heat shrink tubing will slightly shrink longitudinally (around 5-15%), so be sure to give yourself a little longer than what you measured. |
