This also works well to hold a bend in scat tube - slip the heat shrinkable tubing over the scat tube, bend the scat tube to the required radius, plus just a little extra, then shrink the tubing in place. Hold the bend in place until everything is cool and you should have a nicely formed bend in the scat tube. If a little extra support is needed double up on the shrink tube.
