So this was definitely a learning process. I got everything but the epoxy from amazon. I have now made two and now how to make them. The first one still had 8 inches of the clear 1/4th inch heat shrink wrap on it. I had the heat gun on the highest setting and in two spots where the white 1/2 inch heat shrink was over the 1/4 inch clear heat shrink, a bubble formed, that popped and burned. I added 1 inch of white heat shrink over the burn areas, shrunk them and then epoxyied the ends. The second one I had no issues whats so ever. Is a simple process now that I think about it. I had to coil both 3 times before I found a pill bottle that was 6 inches in circumference. I will test out wearing today and next week.

Heat Shrink, it seems the colored varieties are a little thicker and flame retardant. That might explain the burns, coming over the clear heat shrink. I don’t recommend the clear

Heat Gun: I got it for $20, I’d recommend something around that price if you’re not going to be using the heat gun often, it does have many other uses though.

Linked at the bottom are the finished products. Again the first one is ugly and I will most likely make others and use this one to go over one. Total for the 1st run was about $38 for 2. Any more I make I will only need to buy the heat shrink and lead which will be about $9 a piece
