I saw some "heatshrink sleeving" in assorted colours in B&Q, but
no instructions on the outside of the pack. Does anyone know how
much heat you need? A hair-dryer?

(Not a blowtorch!)

More like a hot air gun (paint stripper type) - this is commonly used.

You can use a fag lighter flame, played carefully along too.


I don't have a hot air gun, but I can find a lighter or
some matches, I'm sure. Thanks.


Even a small blowtorch played very quickly over the area will work fine,
without leaving it all sooty either.
