Does it shrink or expand after drying/curing?

I haven't noticed any cracking or shrinking. Have been using the product in my professional wood shop.

No shrinking and no signs of expanding. I have no tried staining it so far.

It shrinks. In some applications consider using a "burn-in" knife to liquify, drip, then smooth plastic resin. Look up Behlin Burn-In Sticks. Cool stuff and more permanent.

I have dried them in high heat and no shrinking... It is a quality sheet by far and I have them for over a year and some months so it has been through lots of washing & drying in the machine.

It doesn't shrink, the fabric is kind of plastic. I've washed it 2 times and it has the same size.

Mine did not shrink even after a couple washes. I think I even ran it through the dryer but don't remember for sure.

No shrinkage after washing. BUT, I machine wash then hang them to drip dry-no machine drying!

I wish I knew how to shrink mine. I've tried hot water but nothing seems to work. That's certainly a sign of a quality made garment when it can hold up to hot water and the dryer. I'll begin purchasing a smaller size in the future.

The wrap does not shrink. We use it to wrap furniture to keep drawers and doors from opening. It is like a huge Reynolds wrap. It is used to keep things in place. Just have to tightly wrap things.

It thickens up every time you open the can. I add water to thin it out. A tight sealed can will help. I make small batches, a quart at a time so I have not experienced it drying up since I use it up before it does.

I have always dry cleaned it. Not sure, but it might shrink if laundered. Hope this helps.

My little one is 6 months now and we definitely dry it in the dryer. It has held up well. I don't use the hotest setting we have a front load and the heat settings are hard to gauge. We dry it on the normal setting. I also use an unsented dry sheet to soften it up some. It seems to work well for us and we haven't had an issue with shrinking.

I didn't notice any shrinking. If it does it is very minimal. The twin size is very generous, which I like.

I always cut my pieces out before shrinking them so I'm not certain how much a full sheet would shrink. Most things end up being about 50% the size of the original piece, however.

hi its me again, i saw the other answer, hers has shrunk cause she has used the dryer, this is wool and under no circumstances should it go in the dryer or it will shrink, they do not shrink if you wash on 30 and just hang to dry

I've washed mine 2 or 3 times and have had no issue with shrinking. I love it. I am able to wash it in my large capacity washer and dryer.

It will take up space when you pack it. It is something that you want on the top after packing everything. It's foam so it will not shrink much, it definitely keeps its shape but you can take the pieces off, however it is a challenge to get them back together.

It does not shrink. You stretch it to tighten around what you are wrapping.

dear D.Flowers...if your ends are curled up,that means the foam mattress ends did not spread apart..you may have to unzipper it and straighten it (it could be that during expanding process the cashmere top caught the foam mattress and it didn't unfold right )..to fully expand should only take 8hrs ......hopefully this will help you
