Oh! great idea amm. I'm gonna put mine in a spray bottle (some leaked out into my bag)

Just curious...will you be offering larger quantity of the remover? I've been having great success with using it for fusion removal. I may need it in bulk!

If it's polyolefin for heat shrink tubing, the clear isn't mil-spec'd because it doesn't provide adequate fire resistance (I'm pretty sure).  They make it black, and other colors, with a variety of fillers that also help the fire resistance/heat transfer.  It wouldn't shock me if the fillers don't shrink and therefore the black doesn't get as small as the clear.  Of course, it could be something else...

Oh and I had to clean out my extnesion supply drawer when the remover bottle tipped over and leaked even though it was closed.  Not the end of the world.  But my little pliers and weave thread and what not all smell citrusy.

Thanks! I switched from the little toggle top because one day as I
was heat shrinking some wrap around the cap, I noticed leaking. The
company would not send the protectors between the product and cap
so I did a quick bottle switch.

The black is supposedly the same exact material but I disagree.
It's softer from the get go but I can still get them into nice little rice
grain tips when I'm holding my mouth just right.

MB' are nice. They are super flexible but I have worn a couple side
by side with the shrinkies and they've held up equally well.

Now, if I can just make tips like MB. :)

I just put in the EZ plug tip into shrink. The clear shrinks got so small and clear with these little perfect tips looked just like MB's!!! Took it back out and the tip is in great shape. If you hold the hot iron right to the tip you can flaten it but it will not melt and did not change shape in shrink! The black shrink for some reason dose not get as small as the clear but did look good!

Smart thinking Amm! I just received my remover and shrinks, know more waste I love the spray bottle By the way I called #EP to ask what there tips are tipped with. Answer was some sort of Polly=plastic they said they wont melt so I'm going to give them a try in my shrink's. I wont have to tip myself at least not for client's who want ep hair!
