[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 451542, member: 6563"] That's a top tip, thanks for posting a link. Those are some great results shown. A word of caution. I have now seen two Amanaman Trilogo bubbles that have be wrecked by ham fisted attempts at something similar. I think Edd had one that had become almost a dome due to overheating the bubble and it shrinking (Edd didn't do this himself, BTW!). I also have had one where someone has tried a hair drier and it also shrunk one of the bubble's corners. It was lovely and smooth but a lot smaller than the rest of the bubble! I'm sure Mr. Bullock will weigh in with his knowledge of plastics but the trilogos and the regular Jedi bubbles are probably made of different plastics, hence reacting differently (also, one yellowing a lot more easily than the other). Obviously plastic thickness has a lot to do with the heat tolerance, too. In short, I'd definitely try this with some regular bubbles but not with a Trilogo. [/QUOTE]
