The Versatip comes with a little heat shield that goes round the 'back' of the sleeving. Works a treat.

Even with my 80W soldering iron fully warmed up, held just a few milimeters away, it still takes me an age to get the damn stuff to shrink. Must be one hell of an iron you got there!

You can swiftly waft a blowlamp over it. Very quick.

antex 24V at 25 watt temp controlled worked OK. If it can melt solder at 220C it can sure shrink HS at as little as 80C.

No I tried it and the air flow is too fast so the air isn't hot enough.

Someone above suggested a wind-proof cig lighter which I just happened to have lying around for no good reason, so I'm using that to good effect on the toobing. :-)
