The radiative heat from your gas iron will shrink the heatshrink just a fraction, but it will be just enough to require serious effort to get it past the widest point. (But careful work with sharp scissors will get you out of this one.)
It's only after you finish soldering the fiddliest of the wire-wrapped joints that you realise you left the heatshrink off that one! (I have no solution for this except write a list of actions/instructions and follow them.)
You always remember the thing you forgot you really needed the moment you see the "Order Confirmed" page on the wholesaler website with a big minimum order. Often when it appears in the "Today's Specials" list. :ironic:
