Now you can slide the piece of heat shrink tubing that you slipped over the wire a few steps back over the entire area that you were just joining the wires in. Use a heat gun or a hair dryer to blow hot air over the tubing - this will shrink the tubing. The tubes will become a little warm and gooey, but once it cools down, they will be as hard as plastic.
