hey r/dnm, i'm sorry this isn't exactly dnm related but i thought this would be the best place to ask.
i've used the dnm's a couple times so i've seen lots of stealth and packaging. i have a little bit of bho that i want to mail to my bf while he is out of state, so i generally know how it should work. i'm only doing this one shipment. i don't need to order 100s of mbb's or huge rolls of mylar online. i also don't want to spend $80+ on a vacuum sealer for one time use. i've read mylar can be sealed with a hair straightener, which i have, i just can't find any mylar to use! no stores in my town sell it that i can find, most don't know what the heck i'm asking about.
the cheapest idea i can think of would be to use this : http://www.coghlans.com/images/products/8235.jpg cut off as much as i need, seal it with the hair straightener. they're only $5 at the store. it says it's made of "aluminized polyester". would this be a safe mbb method? if not, any other ideas that won't cost me more than a few bucks? thanks
Most of the time, Mylar bags used for stealth are 4mil+ in thickness. I believe that these blankest are quite a bit thinner than that. Not to say they wouldn't be effective - I've not tried them myself....But they very well may be so thin that you can see/feel the contents inside quite easily...
Also, they might be vulnerable to piercing or tearing if the package is messed with, caught in machinery, or probed much easier than the 4mil+ bags.
