Applying wraps. Please advise

[ant_182]

Hi, jut got a new wrap for my tom.

Please could you help suggest ways to fit it. Best glue etc. Would wood glue be ok? and how would I go about making holes? I need to do this quick!!! Only need to last 6months or so :) Thanks in advance!

I used carpet tape in the end. Went well :)

[wes_jett2008]

Haha that stuff outta hold it on there...Better hope you never want to take it back off,That stuff is like cement.

If you don't use glue, and really good brushed on glue, you will eventually get bubbling. Even a double sided tape like carpet tape is not recommended by the pros for a real serious job.

Oh, no this is no serious job. I tried to refinish the shell. But it was soo cheap! I fell apart the wrap only needs to hold for 5 months. Then I'll have a new kit.

Go to www.drummaker.com enter in item number 6600, it's called Killer Hi-Bond red tape. It's $35.00 a roll. If you don't need that much email me at pj@medicinemandrumsaz.com, I have a half roll of tape I'll sell you for $15 if you want.
