Very true. I was concerned the 1/2” I used would not shrink well on the wire I used. It fit like a glove. I think the dymo measurement is from side to side (OD diameter) vs inside diameter of the heat shrink (ID most are used to).
I used 14awg and some 12awg on the bigger stuff. You can see from pics how it turned out. You may want to leave a space to put the shoulder of your heat shrinks so you don’t have a mishap like I did on the blower label. The R in blower is bigger because I didn’t leave room at bottom for shoulder… oh well I’m only one who knows or cares I suppose. But I’m still tempted to redo it.
