How about a straight wrap application (instead of spiral wrap), perhaps with a cable tie on either end, tightening the cable ties as you go? The tape may need to be a little wider for straight wraps or maybe just overlap. I think the concept has potential for when you can't get shrink tubing over an end - thanks.
It looked like you were melting the cables! I saw the white cord on the left side create bubbles. Is that just one solid strand of copper wire under the tape now?
I would suggest that all those who posted negative comments stay with their crocheting, as the way to use this tape is beyond their basic skill set.. I have used shrink tape for years, (Likely not this brand but principles are the same) not sure when it first came on the market, but it has been the answer to a "maidens prayer" when doing "field repairs" on earth movers and the like... Electric heat guns were not always available but a piece of "U shaped" copper (Cut pipe in half down it's length).. and a gas torch did the job... I guess there is a problem when skills are required for a process that isn't an APP download....... NOTE:!! I have No/None/Zero affiliations with this company, nor do I seek any... I am, how ever, frustrated by "nay sayers" who have limited skill sets other than creating negative reviews...
The heat actually warms up the adhesive so it can be applied. So, the heat serves two purposes, getting the heat shrink to start shrinking and helping the adhesive to become sticky.
Why would you use heat shrink tape for that? Wouldn't you use a cable tie? (the clue being in the name). It's not a good advert as it's made a proper mess of it
If you need to wrap a large length of grouped cables , say a meter long, this would be much neater . I don't know how much this stuff costs , and whether this makes it only viable for hobby or maker projects. The only other thing i can think of is to give fixed cables better shielding. Maybe this would create overheating tho in some cases...
Nice video, but next time could you add more interruptions to show your logo more often?
Noted!

Attach a deflector to your heat gun for improved distribution of heat.

No cables were damaged in the process
Glad I watched the video, I was wondering if it worked.... now I know it doesn't

tryed it..seems too thick
Good concept. Why not have it mildly adhesive to start wrapping. Heat just shrinks it.

DO IT WITHOUT THE FUNKY MUSIC
its funky and you know it!
I always use my oven gloves even when the oven is cold, I forgot to mention, I'm a robot.

Uh, I think those GIANT floves are just WRONG.
Take the gloves off.
