Shrink-wrap

Post by Don Sargeant »

Does anyone know where the white plastic material boatyards use to heat-shrinkwrap boats can be purchased by the common man?

Don:

West Marine sells the plastic (sized for one boat), the strapping and clips, and the heat gun.

One of my employees, who does shrink-wrapping (and gas engine maintenance) on the side, offered to get me a full roll of shrink-wrap for my boat - which is cheaper than a new tarp every year, but only if you buy enough for eight or nine seasons. As soon as the mast comes down, I will be stretching a new blue tarp over my frame.
