Same concept as other tubing, but I find that with the shrink tubing and a mild angled cut, you get a nice fit with little to no shadow. With a little practice, you can cut the angle so that after shrinking, the front of the pin is neatly covered and if there is mild gap at the rear, I don't care so much. Any gold there will be covered with a string. I have a video somewhere, let's see if I can find it........... William R.
