Shrink Wrap Question

[cbrenner]

It seems like this is a low-level question for this forum, but I am wondering whether or not shrinkwrap is reusable or if I should discard it when I unwrap my 21 Ft Bayliner this spring. I have heard that it is useful for multiple years, but I am not positive. If so, how would one go about reusing it? Thanks in advance.<br /><br />Craig

Im sure no expert but my guess is no reuse on shrink wrap.Also if Im not mistaken shrink wrap is not that expensive in the first place.

Right, Craig.<br /><br />Shrinkwrap is not a popular topic on the Outboard Non-repair forum.<br /><br />I will move this to Boat Topics.

Hmmm, I wouldn't reuse it. The biggest cost in doing shrink wrap is the heat gun. On the iboats.com mall the shrink wrap is $116.40 while the heat gun is $875.33.<br /><br />I think most people don't use shrink wrap as individuals because of the gun price and it takes some practice.

Put it away someplace. You can use it as a sled next winter. I once had over 30 people on one piece going downhill at breakneck speeds. Amazing stuff!

Hhmmm! sledding on shrink wrap, that had to be a hillarious sight. How is Morse Rabidfish? is it thaw out yet? A giant piece of tarp for less then 50 bucks and you can use it for many years. It works just as well!
