Can I use a blow dryer or flame maybe to heatshrink the electrical connectors or do I have to buy another new tool? (heat gun)

Depends on the tubing. If you buy the stiff shiny black stuff from Radio Shack a heat gun works better. If you buy the soft dull stuff from a large electronics store a hairdryer works just fine. The stiff shiny stuff is less vulnerable to abrasion. Depends on where your going to use it. (Will it be rubbing against a metal edge?)
