Sealing Solutions In this day and age, effective and tamper resistant product sealing are a must.  We offer two different sealing solutions; heat shrink bands (you know them, although you may not know them by name; it's the same thing that you find on a mayonnaise jar or salad dressing bottle) for many tin structures (more on how to apply below), and TinTape™ stretch sealing tape which will work on any structure.

Heat Shrink Bands are applied with a heat gun.  The easiest way is to stack the cans about 4 high with the bands on them.  Start blowing on the sides of the cans working up and down while going around the entire stack.  Finish them off individually by a quick pass over the top.  They key is to get the side sealed where the bottom of the lid meets the side of the can.

Q? - Can I use a hair dryer? 
A! - Sort of.  Hair dryers don't reach near the temperature of a heat gun and they will go into a cool-down cycle after a while.  Because of the temperature difference between the two machines, a heat gun will be significantly faster  It's one of those things that once you use a heat gun, you'll never go back.

 
TinTape™ Stretch Sealing Tape

TinTape™ Stretch Sealing Tape
It's fast and easy to use (all you need is a pair of scissors!)
 Our popcorn can customer love it!

Roll Size - 3/4" X 36 yards (1,296 inches)
Case Pack - 64 rolls/case

Bone colored on the roll, but it goes on clear.  Stretch similar to electrical tape or adhesive bandages.

How many rolls do I need?

Remember
π (the Greek symbol pi) from junior high math.  Now you can see a real-life usage of that math that haunted you.  Take the diameter of the can (rounded to the next inch) times π (remember π = 3.17) divided by 1,296 (there are 1,296 inches on a roll).  So, if you needed tape for 504 2c cans (they are 7-3/16" diameter), it would be ((8 X 3.17) X 504) / 1,296 = 9.86 rolls.  Like toilet paper, TinTape™ is something you don't want to run out of, so it's wise to get some extra.  If you see your math teacher, tell her thanks!
