Application Tips for Boating

When installing Adhesive Lined Heat Shrink Tubing on your boat:

1. Measure and cut the tubing to the desired length, allowing enough room to cover the entire connection.
2. Slide the tubing over the wires or connectors before making the final connection.
3. Use a heat gun to apply even heat around the tubing until it fully shrinks and the adhesive melts, forming a tight seal.
4. Ensure all connections are secure and free from moisture before applying the tubing for optimal protection.
