I am gonna hear about this, but the fastest thing I have ever found is a candle.

That, or a BIC lighter.  I've used both with equally good results.  But don't let the flame actually touch the heat-shrink, it will melt and burn it.

And a pencil-type soldering iron works good too, and is safer than an open flame.  Simply rub the hot soldering iron shaft on two or three sides of the heat-shrink.  Doesn't take much, just long enough to get it shrunk down.  Rub it, don't hold in one spot, or it could get too hot and melt through.
