Not mentioned in the description is that this is formable. After it shrinks to about half its original diameter, it still won't fit on regular wire, but if you flatten with pliers while heating it, you get a tight fit.
I shrunk this with a hair dryer, it wasn't tight, so I went back later with a lighter and tried to get it to shrink more, but it expanded... then caught on fire... kinda annoying... don't use a lighter.
