Default heat wrap?

What's the best way to apply heat wrap?

I've heard some people wet it first to help.

Cheers

some people wet it because when its dry u get fibreglass everywere, and for me first was real messy i didnt relise until dad told me it was all there... second time i wet it and was easier to apply, and it seems fit better aslong as it tied properly

if you wet it it forms the shape better and you can wrap it tighter!

Same here, I put mine in a bucket of water for 10 mins or so, makes it more flexy as well so easier to fit.
