amazing.  I remember hearing somewhere that shrinkies dont work without the adhesive lining.  Do you konw if that's true mochachip as im sure there are a few people on ebay selling shrinkies without the adhesive?

When / if i do decide to try shrinkies, i'd only buy mine from amm, that way you can be sure your getting the real thing.

I'm sure the plastic is extruded so they probably have a feed for the glue at the end of the pulling piece.  If that makes any sense.

I always wondered how they came.  Thanks mochachip! 

I wonder how they get the keratin inside a tiny tube as small as that.

It's certainly quite similar.

There isn't too much info on there.  Like what milspec they are...

The ones that everyone likes so much are 3:1 polyolefin dual wall (the second wall is the glue).  At least I'm pretty sure.
 1/8 inch ID pre shrink...

I think Docs and Kristins are 2:1

But yeah you can get it in all kinds of colors...
