Covering HurricaneHopr
How I Cover
Hi, this should get you started
these are the basics
7 mill boat shrink wrap...two sided tape on all ribs...place fabric on two sided tape...it lifts off and can be pulled as tightly as possible before shrinking...two sided tape on all edges LE TE wing tip..trim fabric for 1 inch over hang....use 3" shrink tape to tape all edges...now I use a heat gun on the fabric between ribs...I can shrink two or 3 ribs in 30 minutes...heating the two sided tape on the ribs makes it adhear to the fabric...it takes a lot of time to shrink the fabric and not burn through...I cover the bottom first...
here are pix from my web site, and will take a while to load all the pictures.
