|  sleeving cables question
so im wanting to splice some wires for my fans to have them all just run into one molex 4pin. i was gonna make it look nice by sleeving them but my question is can you use something other then a heat gun??? i really dont wanna buy one when the sleeving stuff will only cost me around $5.
my mom use do do stamping stuff and has an embossing heat gun thing, will it work???

Blowdryer will work almost as good.
People have also used lighters.

well the op said he was trying to sleve a 4 pin molex, so i figured he wouldn't really be doing a lot of out of the case work. I could be wrong on that one tho.
