Hi!
I liked the article [by James M.] on pallet wrap. In it, the author mentioned that he wanted a source for narrower rolls of shrink wrap. I’m writing to mention that ULINE sells 2″-wide rolls. Regards, – Trysch

JWR:
This was an excellent, informative piece.  There is an additional use for this that Mr. M did not mention: My wife is a high school earth science and biology teacher who has her students build solar ovens every year using cardboard boxes, aluminum foil and shrink wrap.  The box is lined with aluminum foil and covered in shrink wrap.  The students not only cook hot dogs in these, but have baked biscuits and even melted plastic cups trying to boil water.

This is an inexpensive alternative to expensive solar ovens for survivalists on a budget. –   G.I. Jim

James Wesley,
I expected James M. to mention this potential use, but since he didn’t, I’ll throw it in: stretch wrap would make an excellent temporary binding of prisoners in the field. – ECB in Illinois
