Here's a link with decent info.
http://www.bigshrink.com/Boat-Shrink-Wrap_c_7.html Googled boat shrink in Australia and your marinas do have it. Material will melt to itself, found that using a backer material (wood,metal) to absorb some heat gave a more controlled melt, heat an inch or two at time and press together. Steel wheel was 1/4in wide, future will go 1/2in, maybe larger iron. Seemed and fitted much like sewing, around openings triple layered and in future will allow for an inch of shrinkage for this size of covering. Once in place use a heat gun to shrink. Preshrink photo and tools.
There is tape available, didn't use any, does not shrink, but would probably make it easier to install if used in hidden areas, good to fix holes. I'm sure there is better techniques out there, but that's part of the learning curve. Don't know how much abuse it can take, all I can do is try.
Finished frame and applied the boat shrink wrap. Fairly happy with result. Thought I was on to something new, but son's friend stopped by last evening and knew exactly what I was doing because they use same concept on energy efficient vehicle at tech school. Would like to thank Sabydent also for donating a 2.9m sail to the cause, really appreciate that. Thank you.
