Continuing the Shrink

Custom Search

You can work large areas at a time, just keep moving your heat gun from side to side. Different films are going to react differently to this technique, so practice is a must. In the photo you can see where the film has been shrunk and where it still has a little excess. If those areas arent adressed, they will likely form puckers where they meet the defroster element. These areas will often lay flat with just a little more heat, some will need to be manipulated with a hard card. This is the most dangerous point in the shrink as you can easily get into trouble by creasing the film if you hard card them.

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
