Shrink wrap and wrapping

Hi, just a quick question, I've recently stripped the butt section of a carp rod to replace a worn reel seat, I'm planning to use x wrap shink tube to replace the grips....my question is should I wrap up onto the shrink wrap, if so how do I get a nice transition or do I just wrap up to the edge?

This is my first foray into rod building.....thanks Sam
