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.

Where can you buy heat shrink tubing?
Heat shrink tubing is available at many hardware stores. I would suggest looking at your local lowes or home depot first and then trying smaller hardware stores second only after the bigger chain hardware stores do not have any in stock.
Can I purchase a utility knife from Grainger?
A specific timeframe that it will take your heat shrink to shrink is unavailable because it is based on certain variables. The variables are as follows type of tubing, diameter of tubing, or type of material being applied to, etc.
Can you use a lighter to shrink heat tubing?
Simply putting it...yes you can. However, the experts will always recommend using a heat gun, which can be purchased from your local hardware or auto parts store for a fee ranging from $30-80. The major difference between using a heat gun as opposed to a lighter, is that with a heat gun, the job will be a bit more clean, more professional, and less chances of burning your hand, or burning the shrink tube. If your job is small, and investing in a heat gun is not worth your while, then I do recommend using a lighter, it will achieve the same result.
What is a suitable substitute for electrical tape when working on electrical projects?
A suitable substitute for electrical tape when working on electrical projects is heat shrink tubing. Heat shrink tubing provides insulation and protection for electrical connections similar to electrical tape, but with the added benefit of a more secure and durable covering.
