Hi!
I've always used an oven to shrink plastic, and it worked perfectly, but I've started to use ink jet plastic and don't really want to be baking toxic inks and stuff in my oven. I have a heat gun but i'm having real problems with getting a smooth surface, the plastic always has little dents, crinkles etc..
I'm sure there's lots of talented people here who are total whizzes with heat guns, so If anyone has any tips I'd much appreciate it!
And just because everyone loves pics, I just finished this dress..



thanks!
