I was told liners shrink when no water and exposed to sun. How long might this process take b4 I dare take a chance & fill with water?

It took me 3 days to fill ours. We had no issues. We live in FL and I filled it last July.

Ooooo I usually spray (not steam) my backdrop with water once I get it up and I instantly start seeing the wrinkles smooth out. You would want to do this at least a 30min to a hour before your shoot to give it an ample amount of time to dry before you start shooting though. Once dry - it's perfect!

I would recommend that you not water for a day or so as the product softens when wet. I think you will find that it is very effective within the first 24-48 hours.

I submerge mine in hot water (boiling water that I've let cool a little) and they shrink instantly. It's really easy!

No. Your best bet would be time or changing to a faster drying kind. The kind I use useally sets up in 24 hours.

It can take a little bit of time to line dry if the weather is not good because they thick. I have not bleached them and I don't see why you would need to bleach them.

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

3-4 hours is what I would recommend. Also keeping it covered in plastic and warm. Sit in the sun or warm with a dryer or warm towels periodically. Speeds the process and helps promote richer color

Interesting timing. We are using it to replace some pool tiles as we speak. We lowered the water to apply the tiles. After two days, the tiles are not set. Read instructions, after the fact, and learned it takes one to two weeks to dry--oh my! Am now wondering how it will hold once "cured" when we raise the water level. Have used this product on other above water applications and it is an amazing product!

Use rubbing alcohol instead of water, wait about 5 minutes. Good to go. If it does pull off repeat and wait a little longer, depends on the temperature and humidity, keep it in the sun when you change. Doubt you will have to worry about it, The bands will show signs of fatigue well before they break, just change them when you see pitted or cracked rubber.

not at all - no shrinkagehowever I do not leave them in the dryer for FULL CYCLE - I take them out after about 10-15 minutes and usually just damp and they dry quickly on their own. very good product just bought 2 more

The liners are made of a dense foam that can be taken out of the boot if you get water inside the boot. They will dry and you can then put them back in.

Depends on how fast you work and how intense the sun is. This, like any other liquid, evaporates with heat. I tried it once, but I had to wipe it fast, and I had to do it in small portions at a time - otherwise, the sun would dry it up.

Not at all practical for what your suggesting... While if folds up nicely, it takes a couple of hours to fill, assuming you had access to a garden house...+draining, drying etc...

If they have not been exposed to any salt water or incurred any damages, we have dried them out and used them again. Each time they will swell up a little less. After you use them, they will take some time to dry out, depending on the weather. In full sun, they take a week or so to dry out. You can then cut them open and put the polymer around plants or trees and it slowly releases water. You can then throw the burlap bag away. Hope this helps.

I wash in warm water. I dry using the perm press cycle and have had no issue with shrinkage.

Any type of NON-fast dry will work. It may shrink a slight bit but not to noticeably. The best would be a uv light cured top coat. Hope this helps.
