Two things:

Thanks for teaching me a fast way to heat sink.

And secondly you sound like Jeff Goldblum

@BlueWolfLight  Thank you for watching my video.

Very interesting. All these videos provide examples where you slide the heat shrink over an open end. That's great but how do you do it where there is no open end i.e splice into existing automotive circuit? Is it ok to cut along the length of the heat shrink and wrap over the wire?

[dial2fast]

@Knightlore10 There is no way of putting heat shrink over a factory wire that you don't cut open and then soldering back together. You also cannot cut open a heat shrink tube and wrap it over a wire; the cut shrink tube cannot hold anything to contain it.

Okay, Okay , Okay. Seriously, thanks for this useful little video.

@Knightlore10

If the circuit is closed, why would you need heat shrink over it?

Okay.

Okay.

@Knightlore10 I cut through the auto wire too and then slide a heat shrink in and solder all ends together
