Shrink-Tubing Tip

Shrink-Tubing Tip

When you solder bullet connectors, you can put shrinktubing over the joint when the solder has cooled. If the size of tubing that’s closest to what you need is a very snug fit even before shrinking, try this: most shrink-tubing is flexible enough to be stretched to fit over the connection. Put needle-nose pliers into the tubing, and gently open the pliers a little at a time to stretch the tubing until it fits over the soldered joint.
