1 inch x 180 feet Black Heat Shrink Tape Non Adhesive (A)

I completely agree with a methodology that’s described by a reviewer.For reference I am copying it below.The only thing I would add that to hold the ends of the tape I just used two banana clips at the ends after I finished the wrapping.Indeed with the heat gun needs to be set up low.With that in mind, I was able to finish the shrinking process relative easily. .I had a few 5 inch wires that were part of a bundle that I could not take apart. So I could not use the traditional heat shrink tubing.This tape did the trick for me.For reference this is the methodology I was referring to:Here are instructions for how to use this product:1) Wrap the wire connecting tightly about 6 or 8 times around2) Cut the end of the tape with scissors to leave a clean edge3) Singe the cut end of the tape with a lighter. This will soften the edge and make it sticky.4) Stick the singed edge down onto the tape. Now it should hold together.5) Using a heat gun on LOW setting, blow heat onto the tape.6) As you heat, you will see it go from a flat/matte color to a gloss.7) Continue heating until the whole thing is softened up.8) Remove heat and let it cool. As it cools, the tape will harden upHere's what people do wrong with this product...- Complain that the loose edge doesn't stick (fixed this with lighter trick)- Complain that it doesn't shrink (it does, I laid out an 8 inch strip and it shrunk by 1/4 inch when using the heat gun)- Try to shrink it with a lighter or a heat gun on HIGH (which is too hot and will melt the product)Note that this stuff is much thinner than heat shrink tubing. I can do heat shrink tubing all day with a lighter. This stuff takes a much more delicate touch. But for places where I cannot disconnect the wires to slip on heat shrink tubing... this stuff works great.

video coming soon. But stay away. I understood it's non adhesive, which is fine... what is NOT fine is that it only shrinks a little, and I suspect it's just melting, and you're putting the item you're trying to protect under much hotter temps than necessary.A hair dryer isn't sufficient at 200 degrees Fahrenheit. A lighter > 300 sorta works, but not really. Stay away. and before the review shills pile on, I fastened the items with zip ties like in the other "review" video above. it doesn't matter, this is trash and I'm returning asap.

I am writing this because I saw a few negative reviews saying the product did not work. This almost discouraged me from purchasing, but I'm glad I did anyway. At first, I couldn't get it to work. But after a few attempts, I came up with a method that works great!Here are instructions for how to use this product:1) Wrap the wire connecting tightly about 6 or 8 times around2) Cut the end of the tape with scissors to leave a clean edge3) Singe the cut end of the tape with a lighter.

First off it’s not really a tape cuz there’s no adhesive to help with sticking to the objects. You will have to figure out how to tie it off at one end then wrap them the way you want them to sit. I would recommend more than 2 wraps to make it thicker so after you heat them, it will bond better.2nd recommendation is to use a candle or a high heat gun to heat up the “tape”. If you’re using the candle, make sure you’re in a well ventilated area because it stinks when burning them with a lighter or candle. I don’t think it will stink as bad using the heat gun.Once it’s hot and ready to mold, I would recommend wetting your hand or fingers so you don’t burn yourself. It will become mold a able to be able to grip the objects. And when done molding, run it under water to help it cool down and tighten the grip.I bought this to see if it would work better for my trolling lures and I would have to test it out. Just hoping it works. Had a hard time finding the right size ID shrink tube and saw this. Giving it a try for the first time.
