How to create a shrink wrap weld
This short video introduces some basic techniques for creating a weld using Tufcoat marine-grade shrink-wrap.
A Princess Yachts V42 is being shrink-wrapped to protect it against damage during a long road journey from England to a customer in Russia.
This video picks up the shrink-wrap process about halfway through. A ‘perimeter band’ of rope or strapping has already been run around the boat, just below the waterline.
A 12m wide roll of 190-micron shrink-wrap has been unrolled along the top of the boat and unfolded down each side.
Then the shrink film has been tucked around the perimeter band ready for ‘welding’.
This video shows the welding process taking place. Once the shrink wrap has been welded all around the bottom of the boat the cover is ready for shrinking, which is shown in the other video.
