Isn't there a burning bush in your vicinity?

Yes, but it keeps yelling "Behold the Metatron, Behold the Metatron" and
won't help. :-)


The problem is that fairly high temperatures are needed, well above what a
lighter or hair dryer put out. Lighters, in particular, will burn the tubing
before shrinking it.

Yes, that's what I found out. Especially if you get too close. Although I used
to have a steady hand, that was a long time ago. It wiggles occasionaly, and
when it does, the flame burns the plastic. :-(

A few years ago I bought an inexpensive heat gun, which worked well. A bit
of scrounging might turn one up.

I've never seen one here. Almost all of the construction is stone or concrete
and that kind of paint does not work well on it.
