Shrink Wrap

I was just wondering if anyone knows where i could find rolls and other supplies for shrink wrapping my boat. I know that West Marine sells a kit but i know there are cheaper places somewhere. I am looking to wrap the boat this winter to take on another project. The deck is going to come out the fuel tank replaced and put down a new deck. I was also wondering what would be the best material i should use for the core of the deck i was thinking of using a balsa core and using a polyresin and matting to seal the top and bottom then awl grip the whole top side. Any advice would be great.

Where the links helpfull? The difficulty with not knowing where somebody lives is when you find a supplier on the web, it can be on the other side of the world for the guy looking!

I use the same place every year and they ship all over the country. Best prices and best shrinkwrap and accessories I have found to date. American Shrinkwrap Company Inc., 800-229-2904. Ask for Caryn. www.americanshrinkwrap.com
