How to install shrink wrap on marine?

There are eight steps below:

Measure the region to be wrapped. You may want to do this step with the boat out of the water. The shrink wrap will require covering the entire top of the marine, including extra height for windshields and other protrusions down to a region on the hull below the rub rail. later than you have determined the measurements for your boat, contact a shrink wrap producer or boating supply store to buy the amount of wrap you require and a heat gun if needed.

Arrange the marine. You should plan to shrink wrap the marine in a well-ventilated part because of the chemicals that will be released during the shrink wrapping process. If you must set up shrink wrap outside, try to do so on a clear, windless day to minimize the chances the shrink wrap will stick to itself before it is attached to the marine.

• Tape over all fuel vents. Because you will use heat in the following steps, you need to be sure that there is no chance of fuel vapors reaching the heat source and blast.
• Filling any sharp areas. Sharp pieces sticking up, such as windshield corners, antennas, or ski pylons, could reason the shrink wrap to tear and avoid a good seal. You know your boat best, so be sure to cover any protruding areas with padding before beginning the shrink wrapping process.

Apply the shrink wrap film to the marine, initially from the top and working your way down to the hull, first on one side and then on the other. Keep the wrap folded in the box until you are ready to use it. Be sure to keep the wrap off the ground. Try to use one piece of wrap to cover the whole boat. If you must use second pieces, you will need to join them together with shrink wrap tape and heat, which will take extra time.

Apply belly bands. Belly bands are straps that wrap around the marine, keeping the shrink wrap film tight. This allows for a tighter seal when the shrink wrap process is complete.

           Heat the wrap.

• Set up at the bottom on one end of the marine. Moving the heat gun in a similar motion to spray painting, move up and down from the base of the shrink wrap to the rub rail, and then work from one end of the marine to the other.
• Go over this process on the other side of the boat.
• Heat the wrap on the top of the marine. Be especially careful around corners and on any things that protrude because of a higher risk of tearing in these areas.

Verify for holes. 

Chances are, you may burn a only some holes in the shrink wrap. Renovate any holes with shrink wrap tape, following the instructions for your brand.

Wait for the wrap to return to the ambient temperature. 

Shrink wrap is flammable. You should keep a close eye on your marine until the finished plan has returned to the ambient temperature and be ready to put out a fire in the unlikely event that one occurs.

Fix a door, if preferred. Most shrink wrap manufacturers offer zippered doors that you can install after the shrink wrapping process is complete. These doors allow you access to the marine while maintaining a shrink wrapped seal.
