If you do use heat shrink (and I wouldn't), keep a cold wet rag nearby and work in sections. Shrink one part, cool it down with the rag, then the next part, ect.
Vet wrap is a great idea, I use it on the combs of my rifles.
I don't know if they make a big enough version, but look into cold-shrink. We use that stuff regularly at work in a 2" size. It's a rubber sleeve with a perforated wound plastic strip inside which you unwind with the pull of a tab, no heat needed for it to shrink.
