[TowerTalk] FLooded shrink tubing?? Can you remove it??

[David Robbins K1TTT]

Yes, its possible to remove it.  I usually warm it up a bit just to make it
a bit more flexible, then slit it lengthwise with a razor knife and peel it
off.  It may leave a little residue, but its more of a dry coating than
sticky.
