How to Install the Zipper Access Doors and Prevent Them from Leaking

Dr. Shrink’s Zipper Access Doors are tape on the finished cover to allow access into a shrink wrapped object without compromising the durability of the cover.
TRICK – To install our Zipper Access Doors, just follow these simple steps:
1.) A small piece of tape should be placed on each corner to position the door, then tape applied around the entire perimeter. You must tape all 4 sides of the door to the shrink wrap cover. Press and seal the tape to the cover. *It’s important to use Heat Shrink Tape for the best adhesion.
2.) The doors are installed after the shrink wrap has already been heated. They should be installed where there is easy access into the object and on a vertical surface.
3.) Doors should like a big “U” with the curve at the bottom. Make sure to rub out all the air bubbles and to use the Dr. Shrink Film Knife, so your cuts on the end of the tape are clean.
4.) Once the door is taped on, unzip the door and cut out the hole to access the inside of your object.

How to Install the Weather Tight Self-Adhesive Vent Properly and How to Prevent Leaking

Venting your shrink wrapped object is a simple and easy way to allow airflow under your shrink wrap cover. It reduces moisture buildup without compromising the covers integrity.
The main problem with vents is not having an adequate seal between the vent and the shrink wrap.
TRICK – To install our Weather Tight Self-Adhesive Vent properly and how to prevent from leaking, you just have to follow these simple steps:
1.) Take off the adhesive backing and stick onto the cover.
2.) Pop the cover off of the vent, then cut and remove the shrink wrap from the exposed window.
3.) Grab inside the vent and press firmly around all edges to make sure the vent fully adheres to the shrink wrap. It has a raised lip so it does not allow any leaking into the opening. If there is any gaps between the vent and the shrink wrap, that’s where the leaking will occur.
4.) Pop the top back on and you’re good to go.

Tired of lugging around heavy, steel tanks all season?

*To see the entire Blog, click here.

Tired of lugging around those heavy, steel tanks? Give one of our Lightweight Viking Cylinder® Tanks a try!

Viking Cylinders® Lightweight Composite Propane Tanks are designed to replace those heavy propane cylinders. They are 50% lighter than steel tanks and come with a comfortable, ergonomic handle that allows for easy stacking and carrying. The outer walls are translucent, allowing you to see exactly how much propane is left in the tank. Each cylinder has a wide, stable base that prevents it from tipping over.

Unlike steel and aluminum tanks, Viking Cylinders® will not BELVE in a fire. BELVE is the technical abbreviation for Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion. In layman’s terms, the cylinder will not explode in a fire. Instead, the resin will burn off, the plastic liner/casing will melt, and the LPG will “breathe” through the cylinder wall, while burning in a controlled manner.

Dr. Shrink carries 3 sizes of Viking Cylinder® Tanks:
ds-lwtank-11red
11 pound tank – Height: 15.1 inches
Diameter: 12 inches (color may vary)
ds-lwtank-17
17 pound tank – Height: 18.3 inches
Diameter: 12 inches
ds-lwtank-22
22 pound tank – Height: 22.5 inches
Diameter: 12 inches

Each tank comes with a Filling Certificate.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 800.968.5147 or email us, we’d be happy to help.

New Sling-Shield Size Protects Even the Largest of Vessels and Vessel Finishes from Boat Lift Slings

sling-shield
To help protect a boat’s finish from marks caused by boat lift slings during launch and haul-out, international premium shrink wrap supplier, Dr. Shrink, now offers Sling-Shield in three different widths to accommodate all sling sizes. Made with a 6 or 8-mil white polyethylene material, the Sling-Shield has been formulated specifically for use on boat lift slings and fork lift tines.
Made from 100% virgins resins, the Sling-Shield is designed to resist tearing and punctures. Sling-Shield is also easy to keep clean as dirt and grime can just be pressure washed away. This product is simple to install and only requires on person to get the job done. In addition to it’s use on boat lift tines, Sling-Shield is great for protecting sail boat masts during transportation. It’s also helpful as a ventilation tube, when used with a fan to allow airflow into boats during service and manufacture.
Sling-Shield was developed by Euroglass and is available in three widths: 16″ for standard slings, 18″ for sling with rub-rail pads, and now in 36″ wide for covering even the largest of yacht slings (100 ton and larger). All rolls come 600′ long and prices start at $207.00 for a 16″ wide roll. A poly vinyl tape that is used to hold the Sling-Shield to a desired location on a boat lift sling is also offered by Dr. Shrink.

Dr. Shrink’s Installation Accessories

installation-accessories
Dr. Shrink has all of the installation accessories you need to make your shrink wrap job easier, faster, and cleaner. Our most popular boat/marine accessories are our Weather-Tight Self-Adhesive Vents, Heat Shrink Tape, End and Bottom Caps, our Professional Film Cutting Knife and Ring Cutter.
Venting is one of the most important parts of wrapping a boat. A properly ventilated cover will allow cross-flow ventilation throughout the cover, minimizing chances of excess moisture and mildew. Our Weather-Tight Self-Adhesive Vents are easy to install using the one-piece pull tab that exposes over 15 square inches of adhesive. They are water resistant and can be installed either horizontally or vertically.
Our Heat Shrink Tape is a 9-mil polyethylene tape that is designed to install doors and seal pleats, seams and holes. It also has a powerful backing that adheres nicely to shrink wrap. Comes in blue, white or clear and a variety of sizes.
The End Caps and Bottom Caps are designed to fit on the top and bottom of 2×4 boards commonly used as support poles under shrink wrap covers. The End Caps have slits every 90° for the woven cord strapping to slide into and when the cover is shrunk, the sections flex downward forming a protective pad on the top to eliminate pole poke-through. Bottom Caps have non-skid discs attached for added stability.
The Professional Film Cutting Knife is used to safely and smoothly cut shrink wrap during installation. No danger of scratching or cutting with it’s hooked end. The Ring Cutter is a convenient strap cutting tool that allows you to keep a blade available throughout the shrink wrap process and cuts woven cord strapping with ease.
Don’t forget when you order – do you have enough: tape, vents, strapping, buckles or zipper access doors? These are our most typical reorder items and can be easily added to any order.
