  1. I'm starting to get used to shrinking them. I used to be strictly a dyed film guy, cause I used to work for a lowballer shop, but now we use metalized film and 3M color stable, the metal is definitely a different animal, and I am used to it now, but the 3M CS is something different entirely, it is thin like a dyed film, but it doesnt shrink like a dyed film. It will take alot of heat, so much that the liner will blister during the "joe" pull shrink, but the edges wont take any heat at all, it will just melt and curl, so I've had to adjust my technique a bit. After I shrink it all, (dry shrink with sizer) I'll move a pocket of air right to where the edge of the frit is and shrink that bubble so that it is tight, intead of cuttin the film after the shrink and forcing fingers up then heating them out.
