Its been a good day today. Finding and planning what I need. With all of the connections coming up there has to be a better way of shrinking tubing other than my trusty bernzomatic torch that I use for plumbing work.
In looking across the tubing brands they recommend roughly 200F to 350F - up to 500 F to properly shrink. Most of the You-Tube vids showed folks using heat guns of all sizes. Most had the guns sitting on their ends and passed / rotated the wire and fitting over the tip. I know I don't need anything pro grade - probably under $50 or less - say $35. HD carry's Wagner and some others and there are gobs of cheap ones on amazon. I could use it to remove paint too later on some furniture.
What are you folks using to do your heat shrink tubing with or heat shrink crimp fittings? - and I know there are some real pro's here like Jim, Rob, and Howard.
Thanks for any thoughts
