  A thermos might work!

  There’s an idea. As long as I’m using boiling water there will never be an ignition hazard because it will never go much above 100C. I could probably do something with a bit of water and quicklime to have an instant ignition free hotplate.

  I’d need to figure out specifics and test it elsewhere of course but that is probably workable. The real question is if it’s practical in the field. Either way it’s something I’ll probably try out at home just for fun.

  This is what I would think…

  Wear heat resistant gloves, boil two spoons in something (an electric kettle perhaps), take the spoons into the room, spoon them over the heat shrink.

  … failing that there’s always automotive electrical tape.

  Maybe some air-activated hand warmers? This page says they can get up to 70°C, although they average 57°C. Maybe that would be enough, using several?
