Amm~Have no idea why MB don't list the ingredients in the
remover~::whispering::Top Secret::

I have been using C-22 citrus residue remover and it works on
MB links and Shrinkies no problem. I have a store of it in my
house for cleaning hairpieces.
I'm also ordering Amm's remover as soon as she is up and
running!!

Amm, are you happy to post to the UK?

I would like some smaller ones too, I cut the Docs shrinkies in half at the moment and the bits usually fly across the room never to be seen again.....

Good for you for experimenting

.....and even better that you are happy to share your findings....

Amm, this is awesome!  Do you know the time frame for your shrinks to hit the market?

Soon I hope I hope. I gotta drive to the place to get the stuff in the middle of my work schedule and then get it up on the site so I'm keeping my fingers crossed for next week.

It'll be available here: http://shrinkies.net

UK? U bet!

Now see this attitude makes me want to stick it out and try the shrinkies again. They weren't awful this time but they weren't the best application I've done either.  I think my first outing with rings went a bit smoother.  But damn if they aren't undetectable in the hairline.

Yeah, count me in too....low cost shrinkies will be devine!!!

I do regular shrinkies, but how do you get them to lay flat? I just read that in you post above. Just not roll em?

Thanks! If everyone likes them and the consensus is that they work
the same/good enough/better/ than what's out there, I'll order more
bulk and the prices will come down even lower!

As it stands, I was supposed to be off right now to have this stuff
ready but I'm covering work for someone who had a death in the
family and the shopping cart won't be active until next week.

I am also working with a medical supply company (located through
my work) who supplies tubing which looks and feels similar to MB's
tubing. I don't know if I can track it down or if they'll even supply to
private party but it's another iron I have in the fire.

I'm waiting on the black tubing (WITH ADHESIVE) to arrive also. It
does cost more to have this flexible stuff and have it just like the
clear (with the color exception) but I consider it a real find for those
with black and dark brown hair!

Keep checking the site next week. I promise as soon as my next
days off roll around, I'll have everything up and I'll be able to answer
all the emails about overseas shipping, too. I'm excited!

So can we order the shinkies and throw some of those yummy soaps in our basket? 

This is a little O/T, but which of your soaps would you most recommend for dry, sensitive skin? Generally, I can only use glycerine soaps, not those superstrong detergent brands. I'm intrigued by the shea butter, in particular (I've never used the stuff before).

LOL, J. Love the way your head works.

$50 on the soap site gets ya free shipping so I would definitely do free shipping if ya wanted shrinkies, etc. thrown into the soap basket. It would simply require telling me what was wanted and I could send a Paypal request instead of someone using the cart and checkout. Super easy and who doesn't dig free shipping!

For dry skin, it's all good but the best is the Oatmeal, Milk & Honey (OMH). Cold process soap in itself has more natural glycerin than clear glycerin soaps you typically see in the stores (most contain sugar and alcohol which gives it its transparency). It's cool to watch the cold process soap go through saponification because you can actually see all the glycerin rise to the top and as it cools, it settles back into the bar. Then it cures for about 6 weeks while the pH lowers and the moisture evaporates.

I put in Avenno colloidal oatmeal, raw organic honey which of course is a humectant that attracts and retains moisture (the honey even has the pieces of honeycomb ground into it) goats milk which has caprylic acid and that lowers its pH to the same level as human skin, vitamin E, unrefined shea butter. The shea is directly imported direct from Africa and IT. IS. AWESOME. I sell little sample sizes because a lot of people just want to see what it is that's in the soap. The best way to use it is to take just a tablespoon, put it in the microwave until it turns liquid and then while it's still warm, apply it all over the body right after getting out of the shower. Or, you can take 2 TBS and mix it in with about 1 C olive oil, add a few drops of lavender essential oil and you've got something better for skin and hair than any high priced department store offers. And you save yourself a load of money to boot. :)

OK, off my literal soapbox.

Marie,

Since they don't have an adhesive lining, are you going to add any additional glue or just install them as is?
