I place mine on the bottle and use the steam from a boiling kettle to shrink them on. Just keep turning the bottle in the steam. Works a treat.

I guess it's a matter of scale. I only bottle 6 bottles at a time as I age in 1 Imp. Gallon Demis.

Ive been using the hairdryer but its often not even. I think I might try the boiling water next, sounds ideal!
 
you will LOVE using boiling water to shrink them
 
I boil m water in a small coffee cup (filled halfway) then you can just dunk the bottle top all the way to the bottom for a few seconds. It's amazing how fast they shrink. Oh, and the water needs to be very hot or it get a little lopsided.
 
heh
i was going to say a hairdryer would work but someone beat me ot it lol
