No, What you can do is put a piece of shrink tube into a small amount of petrol for a period of time and observe the effect on the tube
Does a clothes iron generate enough heat to activate heat-shrink tubing?
IT probably would but you would have to make direct contact which might cause the heat-shrink to shrink unevenly or get flattened. It is usually better to blow hot air at it while you rotate it. A good hair dryer might work equally well. ------ Neither a hair dryer, nor a clothes dryer will work for shrinking most conventional heat shrink tubing. The most common types: PVC and Polyolefin require temperatures of greater than 100C (the boiling point of water). A clothes iron will; however you'll melt the tubing with direct contact, and it will mess up your iron. If you don't own a heat gun, you'll be fine using a cigarette lighter.

If you cut the wires from the wire harness in a 1990 f150 what do you do to fix it?

What is heatshrink tubing used for?
Heat shrink tubing protects items by forming a snug covering around them, providing a strong barrier against environmental hazards and chemicals. It is flexible in terms of how many applications it has. A piece of tubing is placed over the items, then heated in an oven or with a tool such as a hot air gun. You can also use a soldering iron or a cigarette lighter to provide heat, but these methods aren't as effective. The heat makes the tubing contract to as little as one sixth of its original diameter.
