What kinds do you guys use, I've never used it before but I need to start so my builds look more pro.

You can get different sizes from small bear by the foot. If you're gonna do it, use a heat gun to shrink. You can use a lighter but that can melt other things. Blow dryer would probably work, too.

Thanks...are there a couple of general 'go to' sizes for hook up wiring and screened cable? I'm in the UK so I won't be buying from Small Bear - probably ebay where I buy everything else.

You can also get a box of assorted sizes: 1/16 - 3/32 - 1/8 - 3/16 - 1/4 and possibly 3/8

I am using the lighter without any problem for many years, but it all depends on what lies under the shrink

Yeah, just get the stuff at Smallbear. You can get higher quality stuff at various places, stuff with higher shrink ratios, adhesive lining, etc, but you usually don't need it.

I like little butane heat tools (like the soldering irons with heat blower attachments) to melt heat shrink, but you can use a lighter or even your soldering iron. It just depends how much room you have.

i used the burner on my stove when my cheapo heatgun burned out. now ive got a super pro heatgun and i wont do it any other way
