Another tip.
I shrink wrapped wires with rare earth magnets to allow the wire to be strung along metal and stuck to the metal. Example towing a car with mounted temporary taillights. The wire from those taillights are stuck along the car's body to be plugged into the vehicle doing the towing.

Some great tips and techniques here👌. At the 2 minutes 40 seconds mark where you repair the broken arm on the spectacles if you add a piece of piano wire inside the heat shrink sleeve it will make the repaired arm much more robust and resistant to buckling under stress loads.
For best user safety make sure the cut ends of the piano wire are fully covered inside the length of the shrink wrap tubing.

Great video. I worked for raychem Corporation for 28 years the inventor of shrink tubing, now Tyco Electronics Endless Possibilities to shrink tubing used to irradiate the tubing with electron beams

If you had no way to get glasses I guess that would be a way to fix a broke the frame. One thing you could do a little different, cut another piece of plastic like a splint and then put the heat shrink tubing around both the splint and the glasses where you plan to join the two broke parts of the frame together and then heat shrink it. This would add much more strength.

Also there is shrink tubing with heat-activated adhesives inside (as seen in most of these examples), and there is heat shrink WITHOUT that. The adhesive type will serve better for things needing sealing. The resistor example should really be demonstrated by having the piece of heat shrink slipped onto one wire BEFORE completing the soldering - a common example would be mending a damaged wire, where you can't slip it on from an end because the ends are already affixed to something. Keep it far enough back from the point you might be soldering so it does not shrink before you're ready to slide it over the joint and want to shrink it. Another application: screwdriver shafts so you're less likely to short out a screwdriver on something. Shrink tubing is available in much larger sizes, and can be used to encapsulate electronic components. I don't know that your black sealant goo was, but many silicone / RTV caulks and such contain acetic acid, which react with copper, so make sure what you're using doesn't have that.

The RCA end should have been completed a bit differently. The shield and cable jacket should have been crimped for a good strain relief and the whole thing could have been then heat shrink tubing out say two to three inches (2.5 to 5 cm) long for a good strain relief, but also utilizing the cover that threads in place over all of it.

Before putting heat shrink tube over protection glasses, put a little amount of hot glue in it, after that put that heat shrink sleeve on, and it would be totally perfect.

3M Scotchkote Coating is highly recommended for underground electrical splices . Expensive but well worth it ! Nice Presentation .

[leroycasterline]

Some good ideas and one I'd suggest avoiding. While the last tip may have made a reasonably good mechanical connection, the electrical connection is suspect and subject to oxidation (and thus increasing resistance) over time.

I like the idea of making my own all-in-one heat shrink/butt connector - but did you have to use special low-temp solder? Shrink tends to split at higher temperatures. I've used the commercial version and don't feel they contain enough solder (although they do seem to work).

I'd also never considered using the glue in the marine versions to stick the tubing to itself, creating tabs, separating wires or acting as cushioning material. Those are great suggestions!

Once, I had a service powerline tech give a 6 inch piece of 3 inch diameter thickwall shrink tube. The shrink tube was applied to an axe handle where the handle joined the axe head. This was used to protect the handle from wear from splitting wood blocks. This lasted for years until it was stolen one day. The tech said that as long as heat was applied that the shrink tube would just keep shrinking until it completely enveloped what it was wrapping, even if it was around a 1/2 pipe. I could never find this shrink tube anywhere after this. I never did see the powerline tech guy again to acquire it.

You resin pot your shrink tube you are like royalty in the shrink tube zip tie arena. So simple of an idea. No more zip ties on a wiring harness. I can color match too.

[DeputatKaktus]

There are some pretty neat ideas in this video. I may I may not have used some of those myself. These solder connectors look really intriguing. What solder did you use there?

Some other things I cannot really recommend. Case in point:

The edge protection thing is probably one of the goofiest uses for heat shrink I have seen. If you need any edge protection, improvised or otherwise, to protect a cable running over a hard point, there are some serious doubts in my mind as to why said cable is running over (and presumably rubbing on) a hard point in the first place. Either it lacks strain relief somewhere, or there were some really questionable design decisions.

[spelunkerd]

Just be careful with the current going through a resistor that is covered. Those things have maximum current ratings, based on how quickly they can offload heat. Maximum power rating is the product of voltage drop across the resistor and current going through it. If you give the resistor a rubber coating, you impede its ability to disperse heat.

The safety glass repair would work a lot better if a partial paper clip was used to improve structural integrity.

The soldering-inside-shrinkwrap at 10:32 was INSANE!

[gabrialpetersen]

Making the Y-transition breakou and grips for helping hands are actually great ideas.

[anomicxtreme]

The end part of the shoelace is called an aglet.

[eliasl]

A lot of them will be very helpful, thanks. I was thinking, is it always necessary to slide the tubes in place, or could you cut them open and roll them around the spot that needs covering?

[zach]

The solder heat shrink sleeves hack is my favorite @9:45

[cfusername]

For stabilization or strain relief purposes, I often use either a drop of hot glue inside or use some thin CA glue after the tubing cooled down. I recently put some cheap alligator clamps on barbecue sticks, put some heatshrink around it and CA glue.
