Dry shrink it. If your using HP angle the heat gun on high at about 30 degrees and shrink 3 or 4 inches across and smooth out. If your using Carbon use a 45 degree angle with the heat gun and do the same. Suntek is really easy to shrink it just takes some getting used to. :tantrum

I still wet shrink damn near eveything :tantrum It's just faster for me. I only dry shrink on certain vehicles. But since your still learning I'd recommend dry shrinking it as well. :tantrum

dry shrink do you normally wet shrink still :lol2 if so stop wasting time shrinker up dry :thumb:thumb:nope:lol2

I've only used the wet shrink method once (first tint job). Dry shrink seems to work better and a lot quicker. Wasnt sure if there was a basic rule for which type to use in certain circumstances.

I guess I'll just play around with it to get a better feel for it as far as the creasing goes.

Thanks Guys!! :lol2
