Shrinky Dinks?

Question

Anyone have any tips on getting them to lay completely flat after pulling them out of the oven without smudging the ink?

Answer 1

No,try the cooking and recipe category,they would know better,sorry i really don't know and i don't lie acting like i do know,like a lot of people on here just to get chosen for 10 points.

Answer 2

It has more to do with the type of ink you use. Some inks are very slow to dry. I've had to leave some projects to dry for a week before trying to shrink them. And I've had better luck putting them in at a lower temp than the directions call for- the shrinking isn't as wild, so it's easier to control the edges. Even so, there have been times that the finished item took a while to fully cure. I learned mostly by trial and error- lots of error!

Answer 3

I'm not sure...

You could try just leaving it in the oven with the oven open and "airing it out" for a minute or two(by like waving/blowing a rag so it can cool off a little) then pull it out possibly?

But idk because the only shrinky dinks I have ever done were on easter eggs and you just dropped em' in the hot water and took them out after they were cooled.

But good luck!:D
