Srink wrap?

I spent today working on my wiring.  Soldering and shrink wrapping the
new wire terminals has been easy.  I have run into a problem though when
shrink wrapping longer sections of the loom.  I am using 1/2 & 3/8 inch
shrink wrap on multiple wire stretches of the loom in my wheel well.  I
am having a difficult time getting the wrap to shrink tite even though
it is barely larger than the wires themselves.  On the wire ends I used
a cigarette lighter.  I bought a 1875 watt hair dryer today to do the
longer sections and it seems to have no affect on the shrink wrap.  Thus
far I am still using the cigarette lighter.

I do not want to use an open flame in the engine compartment next to my
fresh paint job.  Can anyone suggest an efficient method of shrinking
the wrap tight?

        Thanks,
        Tom
