Peter...

For the coaxial cable products that we produce we use a 1200 watt heat gun.
The key is to use adhesive heat shrink and make sure you have heated the 
heat shrink to the point that the adhesive runs out the ends of the heat shrink.
This will give you a proper moisture seal.

I understand that it is good practice to use shrink tubing to cover the barrel 
of a crimp-on coax connector.  What wattage heat gun will do a proper job of 
shrinking the 3/4 inch tubing covering the RG-213 connector's barrel?

73 & Happy 2008!
