Heat-shrink question

[Ian A. Vine (phone UK 0171-419-3450)]

	Go for low temperature heat shrink (Maplins sell it). The 
	normal stuff needs quite a bit of heat (heat gun ~120Ukp)
	You may just get away with a hot hair drier. I tend to use
	a lighter or the gas stove, keeping the item above rather
	than in the flame
