first time shrink wrapping

[maxpow]

Shrink wrapped the boat for the first time. I was a little intimidated at first but after watching a bunch of videos and talking myself through it I got it done now we will see how good of a job I did next spring. Shrink wrap roll 120ft long x 18ft wide $255
Banding and clips 3000ft and 300 clips $65
vents $10
heat gun rental $40
Shipping $60
total cost $430 but I have enough to do it another 3 times!!!

Nice job. Its hard to tell for sure but it looks like you have some folded seams (usually do at the high points). We use preservation tape also called P tape and tape over the fold. Make sure you get all the way to the top of the fold onto just flat shrink. We do it because weve found water will enter at the top of the fold and then work its way down to the banding line. Then your banding line holds water and some evaporates back up and under the shrink into the boat which was counter to the purpose of the wrap.

All in all it looks good and should keep the weather off it.

Thanks for the extra info I never would have thought of that I will be adding some tape to cover the fold from the top down.
