Thanks.
Put the sleeve onto the cable, stretch it there and mark where you need to cut (use a pen or similar that is visible on the sleeve). Then you pull off the sleeve so that the mark is hanging in the air (give it 5cm to where the cable starts so that you don't cut an expanded sleeve), cut, melt the end and put it back onto the cable.
