It takes considerably hotter air than a hair dryer normally provides to
activate the heat shrink tubing. Sometimes, you can make a hair dryer work
by partially blocking it's air intake (the relative lack of air movement
allows the air to get hotter), but it's difficult to get just the right air
flow and too little will cause the overtemp switch to open, possibly ruining
the dryer.
I'd suggest checking Radio Shack or a hobby store for a hot(er) air gun.
