Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am writing this because I saw a few negative reviews saying the product did not work. This almost discouraged me from purchasing, but I'm glad I did anyway. At first, I couldn't get it to work. But after a few attempts, I came up with a method that works great! Here are instructions for how to use this product: 1) Wrap the wire connecting tightly about 6 or 8 times around 2) Cut the end of the tape with scissors to leave a clean edge 3) Singe the cut end of the tape with a lighter. This will soften the edge and make it sticky. 4) Stick the singed edge down onto the tape. Now it should hold together. 5) Using a heat gun on LOW setting, blow heat onto the tape. 6) As you heat, you will see it go from a flat/matte color to a gloss. 7) Continue heating until the whole thing is softened up. 8) Remove heat and let it cool. As it cools, the tape will harden up Here's what people do wrong with this product... - Complain that the loose edge doesn't stick (fixed this with lighter trick) - Complain that it doesn't shrink (it does, I laid out an 8 inch strip and it shrunk by 1/4 inch when using the heat gun) - Try to shrink it with a lighter or a heat gun on HIGH (which is too hot and will melt the product) Note that this stuff is much thinner than heat shrink tubing. I can do heat shrink tubing all day with a lighter. This stuff takes a much more delicate touch. But for places where I cannot disconnect the wires to slip on heat shrink tubing... this stuff works great.
