Yeah for wider heatshrink I use a heat gun, but a hair dryer is totally fine too (the angle of air will just be wider, whereas a heat gun is more focused).

For smaller heatshrink (like 1/8"), I sometimes just put the soldering iron under it and slowly heat around the heatshrink until it shribbles up.

Back to lastlight's question, how do you heatshrink? Does a hair dryer provide enough heat?
