What does a heat shrink ratio of 3:1 or 4:1 mean?
A ratio of 3:1 means when the tube is heated it shrinks to one third of its original diameter. The original tubing size is three times larger than its shrunken form.
A ratio of 4:1 means when the tube is heated it shrinks to one quarter of its original diameter. The original tubing size is four times larger than its shrunken form.

How can I shrink the tubing?
A heat gun or a heat shrink oven are ideal ways to shrink your tubing. Before heating always check to ensure you know the correct heating temperature of your tubing.
Remember to ensure all health and safety precautions have been taken prior to using a heating devise.
