    SMF December Challenge- high and low water batch

    I misread the final date, and with the craziness of this time of year, time got away from me. I tried this technique at around midnight last night. Cut this morning.

    A few Questions.

    I just got a shrinkwrap system and asked this very question to the owner. He told me you can shrink wrap as soon as 2 weeks depending upon what material is used for wrapping. PVC? NO Polyolefin? Yes
