Shrink tubing needs controlled movement

Use the lowest effective heat, keep the airflow moving, and avoid overheating insulation or connectors.

A reflector nozzle can help wrap heat around tubing when the part is safe for that approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a regular heat gun for electronics?

For shrink tubing, often yes with care. For component rework, a dedicated rework station may be safer and more precise.
