6.
Position heat shrink tubing evenly over the wire repair. Make sure the tubing overlaps both wires.
7.
Use a shielded heat gun to heat the entire length of the heat shrink tubing until the hot melt appears from both ends of the tubing.
NOTE:
^
Durability of a heat shrink tubing splice is dependent on the hot melt that will appear from both ends of the tube. The hot melt forms an
adhesive seal between the wire insulation and the heat shrink tubing, which prevents air and moisture from entering the solder joint.

Strip 1/4" (6.35 mm) of insulation from pigtail wire after sizing and staggering the wires.
