Can anyone give me tips and top techniques for using heat shrink after crimping cables?
I'm extending the cables for a CU install and want to use heat shrink - previously only put the crimps on - but I see from other posts that heat shrink on top is the way to go.
Tried this out (see pic) but struggled to heat evenly round heat shrink - and this was with a bit of test cable.
How the hell do you do this in cramp space behind CU? What are you guys using the provide the heat source? Is something like this the way to go?

How well does it work with very limited space and a number of cables to do?
Any suggestions/ advice gratefully received...
