You need a sealer and a heat gun. You also need shrink film, seal all sides around the deck and use the heat gun to shrink it. Very easy process. Having the right mil is the only problem I have.
I bought some stuff off ebay that someone was selling partially used and its just too thick. |

| The tubing is sealed on 2 sides and its on a roll. Finding the right size in that would be the tough part. The companies that i have found only sell shrink wrap in 60mil and up. I buy the folded type where its is sealed on one side and its on a roll. |
