2. Go to Lowes electrical department and purchase a 3" length of heat shrink tubing of the appropriate diameter.
3. Go to CVS and purchase a small tube of vasiline lip balm (not chap stick, the squeeze tube)

Squirt a dab of lip balm into one end of the airline and push the metal end of the probe through. Continue working it along until it is just short of the connector and completely sheaths the probe wire.

trim off the probe end of the airline well below the wire connection to the metal sensor. I usually pick a point midway between the bend and the pointed tip.

Slip the heat shrink tubing over the airline, aligning the center of the heat shrink with the end of the airline.

Heat and shrink using a butane lighter or match.
