Just when i thought Id mastered the art of small bits of shrinkles not sticking to itself, I went and tried the same idea on a bigger bit(A5) and it stuck to itself.

Any idea of how I can prevent it form sticking to itself.

No. A5 is half A4. A6 is half A5. Therefore A6 is a quarter A4. And an eighth A3. And a sixteenth A2. And one thirty-second A1. And one sixty-fourth A0.

Doe you use the oven method or the heat gun meathod? The heat gun meathod just use something long to hold it back with like a metal knitting needle or long tweezers. Only touch it lightly so as not to mark it.

looking on there web site they say that it is caused by oven being to hot.

I use a heat gun and i find the best method is not to hold your heat gun to close. It takes longer but i generally get better results. I also try to only direct the heat at one section of the plastic at a time so that it doesnt curl quite so much!
