Review on 💎 Design and Create Stunning Jewelry, Crafts, and More with Grafix Shrink Film – Pack of 50 Clear, Transparent Shrink Sheets, 8.5 x 11 inches by Denise Davis

We used so much Shrinky Dink I had to find a cheaper alternative in bulk. I received 50 sheets of Matt Grafix shrink wrap hoping it would be some sort of Ruff'n'Ready Shrinky Dink plastic. That's not true at all - in fact, I found out from the pack that Grafix is releasing a 'Sanded' variant that has a rough surface so kids can draw and color with pencils. SO Matt is a smooth finish, but the plastic has a milky translucent texture. . It's nice to draw with Sharpie permanent markers, but a pencil won't work unless you sharpen it yourself. Sharpie lasts longer on matte shrink wrap than clear Shrinky Dink sheets, but I was disappointed that the Grafix sheets lost their properties. light transmission when they shrink. As the plastic gets thicker, it becomes almost opaque. Hold it up to a light and you can still see color, but otherwise you can only see color from one side at a time. So if you want a clear finish this is not the material for you. If you need a surface for pencils, you'll need to hand sand them with sandpaper. In my attached example I show three parts after shrinking. The white item is from the Grafix brand, the other two are made from Ruff'n'ready Shrinky Dink plastic.
