Here's what I discovered through time and money wasted ventures in regard to shrink tubings:
Dual wall typically are adhesive lined but too thick to compare to Shrinkies. They may indicate they're "clear" but they're more opaque and have a cloudy appearance after shrinking.
Thin wall would be more comparative to Shrinkies but finding it adhesive lined and clear is a challenge. I have come across several sites that may be selling this but most of the time you cannot order small amounts but are required to make a bulk purchase. A lot of the sites are in PDF format that allow you to view catalog info but you cannot make an order.
I have numerous requests out in the ether for samples but few have sent them. When I do get a response for thin wall clear with adhesive and they send them, I have ALWAYS gotten them without adhesive. When I write back and say this is EXACTLY what I want, now do you have it adhesive lined. They write back "no, sorry." I'm all like, I specifically asked for adhesive lined, why the hell did you send this to me then?!
Well, I don't tell them that but I sure am thinking it.
Here is the “MB SHRINK LINKS” next to “DOCS SHRINKIES”
Amm~ All you have to do to remove the Shrink Links is grab 2-3 at a time reheat with the iron, gently pulling the extension hair.....comes right out, slide link right down the hair shaft....comes right out. There is a little residue . MB uses an orange oil to remove the residue….smells awesome!! You just need a few drops, then you comb the residue and it turns flakey white, combs right out. I think the trainer said it takes about 45 minutes to remove a full head of residue. I haven’t done a client yet so Metalgirl would be able to give the exact time it takes to remove the residue per head. I just love this remover beats anything I’ve used. Well, that may also be because I just love the smell of citrus,orange!! I was told that I could cut the Shrink Links in half for crown and side areas. So I cut some in half to let you see the size next to the original size. Shrinkies are on the far right.
Here is the kit and the hair pics, sorry I noticed they are not that clear.......
okay, girls have to run........see ya in a couple days

Thanks for posting those photos, SAS. Have you done a MB v. Doc test for application and removal? I'd be curious to see how they compare in those regards.... I've had some problems getting the Doc's to shrink uniformly. :)

I haven't done a client yet with Shrink Links but just practiced on a mannequin head. The Shrink Links shrink right down nice and tight and seals a little better than Shrinkies. I can't get the Shrinkie to seal as well. On the take down, the Shrink Link is much easier to remove from the natural hair than the Shrinkie I find.
The Shrink Link tubing is more pliable than the Shrinkie, which is a little harder in touch.
I really like what I see so far and love I don't have to pre-tip the hair for the Shrink Links.
