O produto entrega o que promete. As peças ficam com boa coloração e resistência. Compraria novamente!

I wasn't sure about this product at first but playing around and experimenting I love it! I have made over 100 pins from this shrink film.As you may know when doing shrink y dinks you will have the odd time where it curls on you and you just cant save it. I have only had 4 so far that I cannot use.I tired a few different mediums on the shrink film and I find posca pens to be the best. I have tired pencil crayons and found the color did not pop as good as the posca markers did. Just to let you know that this shrink film is "not glossy". I the photos you may see them shinny but that's because I used 2 part resin on them. Resin works lovely on them.Warning when using posca markers. Do not go over area with the posca marker too many times. I found with like princess peach the marker ink starts to bubble and flak off.Over all I am super happy with this product and am happy for the price.

Good value and kids loved it

I'm very happy with this Shrink Plastic and it's exactly as expected. I found the instructions very limited and found many tutorials online very vague so I will share some tips I have figured out. This review/tips are Specific to my experience with the White Shrink Plastic I purchased here.Overall I find this glossy shrink plastic works best when it is prepared by sanding throughly with a fine grit sandpaper (I use 400 or 600 grit). By doing this the surface holds the ink/colour better and makes the design more durable after baking.I don't draw freehand very well and before purchasing this I couldn't tell if I would be able to trace through this or not. I found that before baking it is translucent enough to be able to trace through as long as the image you're tracing has a dark outline. To make it easier I use a lightbox app on my tablet to light up the image from behind.I've tried various methods of colouring as well as finishing and this is what I've found.Printing: There are many questions here about whether this is suitable for the printer or not. In my experience this is not the best shrink plastic for printing. I have a Canon Megatank Inkjet Printer and have tried it on different print settings. The best results I managed were when I prepared the shrink plastic by sanding it with a fine grit sandpaper (600 grit), having the print settings on plain paper and printing an image with very little ink. I found a thin outline would print well but any areas with more ink would just pool and smudge off. Even after baking the ink had not fully set and the darker areas smudged some but the areas with less ink seem to have set.Stamping:I tried stamping with a few different ink pads. Stayzon Multi Surface ink seems to be the most permanent ink after it is baked and even holds up to using Modge Podge Dimensional Magic as a top coat.Markers: The best markers I've found are by far Posca Paint Markers. These will go on either a sanded or unsanded surface evenly and hold up well either way. A sanded surface is still most durable though as they will scratch off an unsanded surface if you don't put anything on to seal the colour after baking. I've also used BIC Permanent Markers and the colours turn out very pretty and seem to stand up well after baked.Pencil Crayon: Pencil Crayon works only if you prep the surface by sanding but after that they work great. I use prismacolour pencil crayons and they give a nice rich colour after baking and seem to hold up very well.Finishing/Sealing: I like to seal my baked piece to help make them look more finished and protect the image. I've found 3 methods work best. Modge Podge Dimensional Magic looks the best when it's finished but will make certain colours run when it's applied. It works best over Posca Markers or Stayzon Multi Surface Ink. Other markers, inks and some pencil crayons will run/smudge when it's applied. Water Based Polyurathene works over almost anything to seal the colour and make it more durable without making colours run.

I priced the Shrinky-Dink brand shrink film and realized it would be too expensive for my large group of kids so I started looking for alternatives. This film by Grafix is perfect and priced very well.This particular film is clear so the resulting shrinky designs look a lot like stained glass. Grafix also offers white film and even film that can be run through your ink jet printer!If you've never used shrinkable film, here's a little tutorial. You'll need shrinkable film, permanent markers or colored pencils, scissors, some parchment paper and something to bake in. I use a cheap toaster oven that I reserve for this and for baking Sculpy clay. Optional supplies are some fine grit sandpaper for lightly sanding the film when using colored pencils, a hole punch, some jump rings and needle nose pliers, key rings and some adhesive-backed magnets.I cut each sheet of film into quarters because a quarter sheet is a good size for shrinking. Larger sheets sometimes shrink strangely and curl in odd ways. Have the child draw a design onto the quarter sheet film, trying to fill the film as much as possible because it will shrink by 50%. If their design is too small, it will be miniscule after baking!If you wish to turn your shrinky designs into charms, keychains or necklaces, you'll need to punch a hole with a hole punch somewhere in the design before baking. If you want to make refrigerator magnets, no hole is necessary. Then cut around the design as desired.Turn your oven on to 350 degrees and let it heat up. A toaster oven works brilliantly for this because it heats very quickly and has a glass door for watching the magic happen. Place the design on a piece of parchment paper and lay on a metal baking tray and place in the oven. Watch closely because the baking process is short! You will notice that the design begins to shrink and curl up. Don't worry. As the shrinking completes, the design will uncurl and become flat again.When it has pretty much flattened out, remove it from the oven. I use tongs and gloves for this because the plastic is very, very hot. Place it on a heat proof surface and slam a heavy book on top of it to make it completely flat. (Kids LOVE this part.) Ta da! You've made a shrinky dink!Sometimes with larger designs or ones with a lot of long thin sections, it will curl a lot and perhaps stick to itself. I have a chopstick I keep next to the toaster oven for intervening when this happens.You will see that the film ends up being much thicker after shrinking so it is no longer flexible. You can seal your design with clear nail polish or a spray sealant, if desired. Magic marker designs can chip a little if not sealed.Colored pencils seem to make the most durable designs, but you need to lightly sand your film before drawing the design. Sanding creates a tooth for the colored pencil lead to catch on. Sand lightly in both directions in a hatch-type fashion.Hint: Buy some metallic Sharpie markers even if you plan to use colored pencils. They add sparkle to every design and the kids seem to adore using them. They come in gold, silver and bronze.Any kid old enough to draw will love making shrinky designs. Kids 11 or 12 or older can even do the baking themselves with supervision. If you're looking for a fun art project to do with kids, I promise you they will be thrilled with this one.
