| I currently use shrinkies, but like everyone I find that they heat inconsistently and uneven and sometimes are to bulkly- hoping for a smaller diameter. I wish I was able to purchase the MB version, but short of taking the class I know that is not possible. I know several people have tried shrink tubing etc. Can they please give some details from their experiences. Also, someone mentioned a company in China - Can they please provide a website and details if they ordered, quality etc. |

| Hey there Jog. If you go to www.ebay.co.uk and type in shrinkies you'll see the german site that sells these. They have just started selling the glue shrinkies as well. The shrinkies I got were quite a bit smaller in diameter and a tiny bit longer. I tested them for a couple of weeks and they stayed in fine. I preferred to the Dr Locks ones cos I could make my tips bigger and they were cheaper x |
