The materials (alone) are quite cheap.....

How much is the heat gun?

IIRC, it was about $300, though I've seen them priced at twice that
much. I think a do-it-yourselfer could get by spending a LOT less....
Yup. I thought they were kind of pricy. Also, I shudder to think what a
flame gun could do to a fiberglass boat in the hands of klutz. Harry for
instance.

I believe my tool of choice would be an iron. That is the only
accepted practice for fabric covering of aircraft where heat is used
for taughtening the fabric....


The guy who does mine comes to your house or boatyard, whatever, and
this year he raised his price from $7.50 to $8.00 a foot. He does a
great job, even better than the dealer I used to use. Most of the
boatyards/dealers charge $13 to $15 a foot.

I see flajim has made another of his idiotic, uninformed posts. He
should stick to spoofing the ID's of other posters here.
