Here’s an inexpensive kit. Not nearly as deluxe as the one crosbyman posted, but it works fine. Use the smallest diameter that fits over the connector and shrink it with a heat gun on low setting. Keep the gun moving to avoid overheating in any area.

It’s the ground wire, doesn’t really need insulation… maybe just for cosmetics

Wouldn’t  using shrink require cutting the terminal off and installing a new one?  Liquid tape would be much easier.

As long as the smallest diameter heat shrink tube that just fits over the terminal is used, the heat shrink tube works great. No need to remove and reinstall the terminal.

Regarding the liquid electrical tape, that works too. It’s just a matter of preference. Just don’t try using both together. The heat from the heat gun will melt the liquid electrical tape.
