How to sleeve cables

[DodFoddler]

Hey guys, I just thought I might start sleeving some cables and I literally have no idea what I need and how it should be done.

I assume that I'll need some sleeving (duh) and some heatshrink for the ends but what else do I need to get to sleeve a few 6/8 pin power cables and quite possibly my front panel wires. I'd like to make them the UV Green if possible since that's what the rest of my build has in it.

thank ya

Edit: So after watching those videos I don't really think it's going to be too difficult. Is there any guide where I can find common wire sizes? I'd like to try some SATA cables and some 6/8 pin cables but I'm not sure what size shrink and sleeve to get.

I use 3/8" | 10mm - Darkside sleeve for my sata cables. 3/8 heatshrink
5/32" | 4mm - Darkside sleeve for double cables or fan cables 1/4" heatshrink
5/64" | 2mm - Darkside sleeve for single cables 1/8" heatshrink

Thanks again hooded ... looking at my case and seeing those cables makes me want to get some sleeving and have at it!
