Can I use heat shrink tubing for this?

I cut out a hole in a plastic enclosure for NES controller port.  Unfortunately the edges aren't as smooth as I would like.

Can I buy some heat shrink tubing, cut it in half and apply it to the edges?

Is there any other material that I could use to cover the edges with to make it look more professional?

Thanks!!

Xam:

How big is the hole?
Is it round or square or an obtuse triangle?

Also a pic would help us determine the best course of action.

Picture attached.  I basically want to add some sort of gasket material to fill in the spaces and make it pretty.

Thanks!!

AwesomeAlbert:

they make a plastic chrome or black trim for the edges of car doors, try that.

Loki:

Or cover the whole thing up with some vinyl and cut some pieces out where you insert the controllers?
