Hi Jessica. No guidance on the packaging, so I checked with Tim Holtz and it’s fine. Not worked with the plastic before so will put that next on my wish list. Thanks again.

@Tootledim Glad you enjoyed the tutorial! I have not experimented with alcohol inks, but I would imagine before or after would work. I would just read the ink packaging carefully to make sure that heating it to 325 degrees won’t cause toxic fumes! Have fun : )

Thanks for the tutorial. Really enjoyed it. Just wondering, can you use alcohol inks on shrink plastic and if so, would you use it before or after firing?

Around 45 minutes or so total, but if you were doing them with an assembly line approach, you could make many more within that time!
