FAQs About the Dymo SD18055 Heat-Shrink Tube

1. How do I apply the Dymo SD18055 heat-shrink tube to a wire?

Slide the tube over the wire before making any terminal connections. Once in place, use a heat gun to shrink it until it forms a tight seal around the wire. This creates a secure, readable label that stays in place permanently.

2. What type of heat source should I use for shrinking?

A standard industrial heat gun works best. Avoid open flames or uncontrolled heat sources, as they can damage the tube or underlying wire insulation.

3. Does the label print before or after shrinking?

Always print the label before applying heat. Printing after shrinking is not possible, as the printer can’t feed the altered dimensions of the tube through the cassette.

4. What is the benefit of using a 3:1 shrink ratio?

A 3:1 ratio means the tube shrinks to one-third of its original diameter. This allows it to wrap tightly around various wire sizes and ensures a snug fit, even if the wire diameter varies slightly.

5. Can I use this heat-shrink tube outdoors?

Yes, this tube is designed to withstand UV light, moisture, and temperature fluctuations, making it perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications.
