I saw kits like that at Walmart, you can get both the kits and a cheap hair dryer to do the job there.
most plastic does not shrink. the stuff you're talking about is designed to shrink when heated like shrink wrap on packages.
If you want to check the kind of plastic you have stretch it over a window, like you plan to and warm the plastic with a hair dryer, if it tightens up your all set. Its a very clear thin plastic in those kits.
Not all plastic shrink. The window kits you refer to are specially designed to shrink. There are also craft plastic designed to shrink suck as shrink a dinks a crafty kit for making all kinds of interesting toys and gadgets.
