Rubber covered wire
#5

One reason I use heat shrink is keeping the original length and locations of the wires. Certain ckt's related to the RF section are critical, and the wrong location or length can cause issues like motor-boating etc. etc. I know the regulars know this, but for those who may not, it's something to keep in mind. Ron's method is fail safe, mine isn't if careless. I use a BBQ lighter (length and low flame). I'm confident in using it, but special care MUST BE TAKEN! If the wire is under the coil section, I wont bother heating it as long as it's properly covered. I'm not going for the Smithsonian look, just a clean proper job.
