can't quite get the hang of the shrink fit caps though - still a bit wrinkly in places
Just so I knew how far away to hold the hair dryer and how long it took to actually come up to temperature and do the shrinking bit.
I'd suspect a paint stripper heat gun would get too hot, too quickly whereas I found that my partners hair dryer was a little slow, but once the shrinking had started it meant that I could control any wrinkles quite well.
Irrespective....that's a couple of pictures to be proud of. They look excellent.

Top job Dude
I use a pan of boiling water, upend them, hold the shrink on with slotted spoon and dunk them in and they fit beautifully.
However, I tend not to use them any more (lazy?) but there are those that would warn against using water due to moisture ingression.
yours look fab though

I have to admit to being a little frugal these days. I still put the shrink caps on every bottle, but only put nice labels on half of them. The other half get a no-frills address label that just tells the contents of the bottle. Those are the ones me and the missus drink. The nice labeled bottles are the ones I give away or show to people.Steve
