Doesn't get your hands black if you wear gloves 
I am a bit worried about the flexi joint but if it goes, I'll just get it cut out and sleeved over.
The wrappings not a job I'd like to do twice so I thought I'd do a good job lol

I couldn't believe how much wrap it uses!
I must admit the set i had go were very cheap Megan ones,they had no slip joints to allow them to expand when hot,and cracked just about every place they could! Ended up getting the Kakumie ones,awsome quality! This is one of my next on the list of purchases for my RA.

I was suprised by how much I used.
Theres a good 15m there. And 14 bloody stainless cable ties!!
Cos it's an easy fix when they do go.
These are only cheap ones but the welding is first class.

Anyone can do it.
Just wear gloves, long sleeves and a mask. I didn't wear a mask and I'm paying for it now.
Took me about 1.5-2 hours.
But I didn't rush the job.
The easiest way to do it is to clamp a flange down to a bench with the bit your wrapping over the edge of the bench.
Made it easy to get the wrapping dead tight.
