    DIY Shrink Wrap?

    Anyone ever done their own shrink wrap? And the controversial question... Even if it took 4-5x as long, could it be done with a standard (electric) heat gun?

    I wrapped an aluminum Crestliner. It can be done with a "standard heat gun". It does take a while. It was pretty frustrating, and it began to peel pretty quick because I didn't seal the edge correctly. I could do it better next time. That said, I think if I was planning to wrap my Tige, I'd think hard about having it done. Its tedious, and there are tricks that only come through experience. i.e. your first try you'll make some mistakes. The material isn't super cheap, I got more than I needed and I'm glad because I messed some up and needed 1.5x what I planned. Hope that helps, good luck.
