Default DIY Shrink Wrap

Derek Rowell wrote:

A friend and I are thinking of investing in the Dr. Shrink kit and shrink
wrapping our Pearson 422's ourselves. (We have both been quoted $800 for the
job at our two yards. It seems that we can do it for MUCH less than that
ourselves.) I've seen demos and watched them do it at the yard and it
doesn't seem to be "rocket science".
One question I have is how to reach up to the top of the ridge pole with the
heater at the beamy part of the boat?
Does anybody have recommendations for/against??
Derek

It sure doesn't look like rocket science. First idea I had was to tape
the heater to a boat hook to reach the high spots. A ladder or
stepladder might do as well.

Just don't bring the plastic snug against any painted surfaces or you'll
have pitted paint in the spring. The plastic traps humidity in the paint
and the paint blisters -- even Awlgrip and similar.
