  • Measure the length of heat-shrink tubing. It should be slightly longer than the concerned section of cable. Most heat-shrink sleeves shrink longitudinally also around 5-15%.
  • Cut the tube to get appropriate length.
  • Slide the tube onto the wire to cover the exposed/ damaged section
  • Use a heat gun to shrink the tube and heat the tube until it tightly secures the wire
