I have been using a 1300w hair dryer, but it doesn't seem to "shrink" it all the way. What would be better to use on it ?

Fire? What heat sink is it... and why do you need to shrink it?

some heatshirnk only shrinks to a certain size..

I got it from case-mod.com, also some from radio shack.

Shrinkage!!!

I use a lighter

I use matches. I like the smell.

He said heatshrink not heatsink

But fire would work best.

I will have to try that, hope I don't waste too much get the hang of it.

if you put heat shrink on a wire, that means you just solder something
Why dont you try the bigger hot part of your soldering iron it works like a charm heat shrink dont burn if you just heat it it shrink 3 times it's original size

Ah!... not just any lighter will do, a turbo jet lighter!

Muwahahahahaha!

I used to have one of those and they work great... matches work just fine too.

That's how I do it too. Works great.

a jet lighter!1 those are wicekd..but i normally use my stove... toaster oven... lighter....

Not always, I have been sleeving my fan wires, etc. It look much cleaner with the HS at each end. How about a heat gun ? (from hardware stores)

How about a pocket blow torch... with adjustable flame eh?

Now thats SERIOUS !

I use an actual heat gun, similar to this i think. HeatGunLinky

Does it have different settings. What setting do you put it on ?

Mine only has one setting.

just use a BIC lighter from a convience store. Been dealing with heatshrink a lot and that is the easiest and cheapest way of doing it.

I'll just do that (the bic lighter). No sense in spending too much $$
