I use a lighter....hold it far enough away from the flame so that you don't set it on fire....just close enough until the heatshrink shrinks.

Got a question? Start Here. Have you tried the Thread Index yet? Most questions can be answered there.
I've heard that using a lighter works well if you use the HEAT and not the FLAME. I've never tried this, but if I had to, I'd make sure it was an adjustable bic lighter turned all the way down.
Using the heat off a soldering iron works wonders for me. Just make sure you don't melt the jacket of the wire itself!
I find using a soldering iron on heat shrink to be too slow.
I just keep a cheap, adjustable, disposable lighter in with my soldering stuff.
In order to see the Light,
you must sometimes risk the Dark.
