Mr paladin
I usually use no card or glove to dry shrink,but if I wet check I use a yellow squeegee wrapped in a paper towel orngbiggrin.gif
cool dude
i use a glove when dry shrinking and when wet checking i use a custom towel sleeve i made to insert the yellow bondo card and it wraps around the card.

like mentioned try them all and see what you like thumb.gif I started out with the glove...it lets you really feel the curve of the glass and film, helps avoid creases. Once you get better just use a white teflon card like me thumb.gif this is the perfect place to post my pic, i have a white card i used since i started using that instead of the glove in a picture right next to a brand new one. i'll post it tonight but its curved on the top and bottom now from all the BG i've shrunk

I use those ina pinch, they stick sometimes.. I like the brown cloth ones, they seem to work best for me... thumb.gif
wndotint
I'll toast them brown cotton gloves in about 4 or 5 back windows. My Mechanix are finally falling apart where the cloth meets the leather on the side of a finger.
