That shrink though 😮‍💨

What happens here

Using a heat gun, evenly apply heat to each piece of heat shrink tubing. Move the heat gun consistently back and forth along the entire length of the tubing until it shrinks tightly and uniformly around the wire nut and wires. The tubing will visibly conform to the shape of the connection, creating a robust, weather-resistant, and insulated seal that protects against moisture and corrosion.

Goal: Create a waterproof and durable electrical seal
