Ensure you are using a sufficient heat source and that the heat is applied evenly. Check to see if the diameter of the cable is too large for the sleeving.

Sleeving is too loose after shrinking.

Make sure you have selected the correct diameter sleeving for your cable. If the sleeving is too loose, it may not adequately protect the cables.
