Well here's what I got:

Yea, basically wrap the wires, place some of the heatwrap over the ends, and warm it up with a blow dryer

Okay, after cutting the mesh sleeving, I like to poke a screwdriver a bit through the end (just to maintain shape and hold it) then lightly (LIGHTLY) melt the end all around with a lighter. Helps reduce fraying.

The rubber is shrink wrap. Generally it goes over the zip ties, which in-turn go over the ends of your mesh sleeving on the cords to hold them tight over the cords and in place. To shrink the wrap, use a blow dryer on Hi heat.

Alright. Well I cut a couple 5 mm strips of each off and I'm currently experimenting. Seems the mesh is flammable, but like plastic will MELT and not burst into flame is not in direct contact. So maybe a screwdriver is a good idea. Now what if I don't have a molex pin remover?

No molex remover = have fun slipping the sleeving over the molex. And have even more fun fitting the heatshrink over the molex.

Wow doing it without a molex pin remover is a PITA, but essentially inside the plastic housing that the pins are in on either side of the pin is a flange that digs into the plastic, preventing it from pulling free, you'll have to jam something down there to disengage the pins.

Molex pins, on the plug side, generally have two small barbs that hold them in. If you're careful, you can use a small flathead screwdriver or knife tip to gently bend them inwards. After sleeving them, slightly bend the barbs back outwards, and insert them back in the PROPER holes.
