pram handle

Today I am going to recover the handle on my doll's pram. The old white sleeve has been removed in the middle part but the end parts are still on. I have been told to use a heat gun to remove the old sleeve the rub down the wood to make sure it is smooth. Then it is just a matter of putting on the new sleeve and using a hairdryer to shrink it to a tight fit. Sounds easy? I will let you know if it is!
