This is by far the best boat wrap tutorial on KZbin. Thank you Sir.

[@katzcloseup]

This is a true modern day skill. Fascinating to watch all the attention given to a perfect outcome.

[@bereal9984]

Thank you for posting this. I was thinking about wrapping my boat in my backyard. I now know that I was being delusional and I should just save up to have the professionals do it. 😆

[@goalmetatnosubscribers]

This was a great and very helpful video. I love the music

[@hawgdriver53___9]

Great video! Your attention to detail is commendable …meaning …giving us viewers the lessons in fixing mistakes, versus simply putting in perfectly. One question, how did you marry the seams at the bow of the boat?

[@ramsayward6582]

That was absolutely brilliant. I've considered wrapping my boat but was unsure of the process. I'll have to watch a few more of your videos. Well worth a sub. Thanks.

[@michaelislam9951]

Literally hit a wrap company up yesterday and the lady was like we do boats, but it’s gonna be expensive… guess I’ll look KZbin … looks like I’ll be wrapping my own boat thank you sir

[@rickeyortutay6697]

By Far the best video i watched!, I wrapped my boat because of your video thank man cheers!

[@marineskins]

Glad it helped

[@backroadoutdoors5329]

That was awesome! Now I want to wrap my boat, time to look at options.

[@marineskins]

Have fun!

[@Nikokeone]

Great video! Do you have any content showing the process of how you overlap the top layer once you get to the bow on your second side?

[@glennr9913]

I can't imagine that a wrap would be durable long-term on a boat hull.

[@WilliamNase]

what is the name of tape that you used to edge the wrap rather than a knife?

[@Land-O-Candy]

Knifeless tape.

[@curtalden2223]

THE MUSIC BLASTS OUT MY SPEAKERS AND I CANT HEAR THE GUYS VOICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Skits_Missions]

That’s because he isn’t talking when the music is playing!

[@Keithamiller]

This guy has definitely been trying to put on vinyl 😂😂

[@jesuselmasloco]

Stop bitching, that was some sick mix 😂.

[@seanstewart9748]

Im going to give my fibreglass boat a makeover. Who do you recommend buying my wrap from? My boat is very similar to the one you are working on. 18ft Caribbean crest cutter. Appreciate your time in making this video.

[@davidlaw899]

Looking forward to doing mine some great tips thanks

[@bangerswithstrangers]

Excellent video! Do you prefer edge tape over a liquid like 3M 3950?

[@puzzling7785]

How long do wraps usually last on boats?

[@Letizia4813]

Thanks for the great video. I have a bay boat that has a fairly low profile and the part I want to wrap is just over 24" at the widest part. I see 3M sells sheets that are 60" wide. If I were to cut a 60" roll in half would that give me enough material on the top and bottom to work with or do you need more overlap than that to deal with the bow flare?

[@kylemurr5251]

Dudes good yo. great 👍 video very educational helped me greatly no other channel showed you how to install vinyl wrap correctly others showed what the cnc cut for them to install

[@deannakoa3]

I need help!! I need a custom vinyl done for a boat i just got that's 17ft . New project for me

[@Ricko62]

Watched about ten "How to Vinyl Wrap your Boat" vids on KZbin and yours is easily the most informative hands down. I have a Quinny Legend CC with clinker sides (lapstrake) Is it still possible to wrap it and if so, is it much harder to do? Cheers for the great vid mate 👍

[@marineskins]

Thanks Ricko, appreciate it. Yes clinkers are a little harder to wrap. We will have a video coming shortly on that style hull. You need to lay the recesses first then lay flat sections being careful not to trap the air. Post heat is very important on those, if using Avery 1105 with 6460DOL wrap like we do the post heat temp is 70 degrees C, but I generally go to 85-90C.

[@Ricko62]

@@marineskins Cheers, I'll check it out when you upload it to see how much more involved it is. 👌

[@benatherton9891]

This is sick. Looks easy as. Im keen!

[@marineskins]

Thanks Ben!! yes its easy and fun to do

[@checkthewater39]

Fantastic job!

[@gabrielcasas8945]

Great job! Thank you for sharing this!

[@marineskins]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevenashett7767]

Excellent and informative video, can wraps be used on plastic boats?

[@davidfink9729]

Does the finish of the hull need to be polished smooth ? Or can it be oxidized?

[@fightforpeace4450]

Great job mate, for yor experience wich one is better to a use sealing liquid,tape or put ppf around?

[@giulionavarra9087]

Hi, did not get how you cut the second layer of foil after going over the first one. It's not shown in the video. Did you also use the special green string? Thanks!

[@christiangreen4154]

Is there a difference the wrap materials used on cars then the one used on boat?

[@marineskins]

For Avery and 3M colour change range are the same.

[@DIDGZONEW]

What’s the name of the green tape you put to cut vinyl!? Thank you

[@MichaelMarko]

Thanx for the vid!! Like being in class!

Glad you enjoyed!

Hi are you sealing the buttom edge ? What product can be used for this ?

[@suechapmanracing]

Awesome video .. Very well explained 👍😁

[@marineskins]

thanks Sue appreciate the feedback

[@iainhetherington4608]

Nice job dude ,going to have a go , where do you get the wrap printed and cut to size and the tools etc Cheers

[@gherickb8181]

Hellooooo next video explain better the process I’m the bow and drains ,,, and name please where we can buy this string and seal tape please

[@carolinakinsey1380]

Can I do this process during winter time ? Or the cold could affect ? Is there any temperature/weather parameters that are recommended? Thanks in advance

[@offgridwaters]

Is this kind of vinyl wrap the same that are used for cars?

[@ATacticalG]

i have a ropolene hull. "plastic" is it possible to wrap that?

[@GreatOutDoorWorldofMines]

If my gelcoat is chalky and crazed will some 2000grit do the trick or will i even need that?

[@jjmcg9688]

I’m curious if you do it any different on an aluminum boat with ribs.

[@jackgabbert3233]

Hello, Thank you for doing this video and showing your tips. I had a question about bringing the wrap up to the rub rail. If the seal-tape needs to overlap the wrap and boat - then you must have ran the knife tape just shy of the rub rail -- Yes? What distance is that overlap needed?,,,,,,,, an 1/8th inch or?? Also do you seal-tape the wrap overlap at the bow? Thank you very much, Jack

[@marineskins]

Hi Jack, the tape width is 10mm(3/8) and you should have between 3-5mm (3/32 - 3/16) of the tape on the boat side is good. Just need to cover to protect the edge of the wrap. Push the edge seal down very firmly. The edge seal is thinner and has a much stronger bond that stops the water. The reason to also do the top is that the water curls at the bow hits the gunwale and then shoots downwards spraying the top of the wrap edge which could potentially create a failure in the future. On some boats it is possible to remove the rubber rail, install the wrap so it ends under it and then reinstall the rubber rail.

[@fredA1234]

I have an order Boat, some of the gel coat is cracking is this good to fix that? Thanks Fred

[@michalrusinowski]

Great video. You webpage does not work - it says certificate expired 5 days ago ;)

[@Diego-le5xt]

Great video! I'm going to wrap my boat (23ft trophy ) next week myself for about $400 . A shop wants $2000 to do the wrap. Ima save big!!

[@marineskins]

Thanks! that's great, have fun with it and enjoy the awesome time out on the water

[@johnny_jgs2435]

I wouldn't do at home doesn't even look easy man 🤣

[@gherickb8181]

400$ where ??? I make a estimate whit this People and cost 1600$ and I have 22ft

[@calvinjcolin3]

Where did you get your wrap? How did it work out doing it yourself?

[@Diego-le5xt]

@@gherickb8181 i bought the wrap on amazon . the brand is vivid and bought a huge roll which i have alot left over

[@gherickb8181]

Can you explain the bow part I don’t get it please

[@robertjohnson5776]

I have a lot of snaps on the side of my boat where I assume the cover was attached at one time. Is there any easy way to remove these before applying the wrap?

[@itssammiesakran]

Are they not just screwed in?

[@ShorrockPaul]

i dont understand how you butted up the ends of the wrap at the bow where they meet and how you repaired the bit cut out around the bow tow hook

[@marineskins]

They overlap. Port side wraps around over onto starboard side then starboard side will over lap onto port side. Once both sides are on edge seal tape is run down the edge.

[@ShorrockPaul]

@@marineskins understood. Thanks for reply and great video . Did you cut a small patch to fill in the cut part for the tow hook or the overlap took care of that. Also do you put seal tape around the bow hook.

[@elylesable]

Can you wrap pontoons on a pontoon boat?

[@creativecurbing]

Man, your video had such potential to be 30 minutes of information, but I could not stand the music. Sorry

[@chibearsfan313]

Absolutely brutal

[@TheAlexnetea]

Same here. I had to watched it with sound off all the time.

[@keokiroach]

Anyone know of a vinyl supply website or company I can buy material for a 22’ Key West? I’m just looking for a Light blue color.

[@ynellirosas]

What’s the life of the vinyl?

[@jesuselmasloco]

Who cares? You sold it by then😂

[@ynellirosas]

@@jesuselmasloco that's why I'm asking, because i don't want to sale low quality products

How long will the wrap last

[@zachofalltrades6116]

Where you buy your graphic vinyls from ?

[@alfonsotan9997]

Where did you purchase the vinyll wrap?

[@caterinastragapete9237]

What kind of seal tape

[@joshuastafford6098]

Looks like a nightmare to do.....Are you up for hire? 😂😂😂

[@tarniminor381]

how long can this wrap last at sea?

[@marineskins]

A lot of factors determine length of life, for example how well its cared for and what climate you live in. Generally the lifespan for the product we sell (Avery Dennison) you can expect anywhere from 5 - 7 years. Unfortunately we are not able to give a definite life span and like any thing in life the more you care for it, the longer it will last.

[@eabiisme]

Can you tell me where you cut the top wrap at the bow? Down the front edge?

[@marineskins]

Both port and starboard sides have to wrap around the bow 30mm or about an inch so the water flows over the join. If its not wrapped around water will hit the glue edge and risks water lifting it and then getting in under the entire wrap over time. Also don't forget to edge seal around the perimeter

[@kakapoopooh3ad]

Would it be easier to do the soap and water application?

[@marineskins]

No water and soap not required and is not recommended for Avery and 3M wrap films

[@buddybailey6634]

Where can I get this exact vinyl wrap material and supplies. ?

[@marineskins]

You can find the wraps at our website marineskins.com

[@multa765]

Brilliant but better without the gormless loud music.

[@joelnicholson8606]

Did you also add seal tape to the bottom edge?

[@marineskins]

Yes, edge seal was installed around entire perimeter

[@gherickb8181]

What is better edge tape or liquid 3m edge seal ????????

[@marineskins]

I prefer the tape for easy removal when required. The liquid edge seal has a long list of health effects written on the can which I want to avoid. Plus it comes under dangerous goods which makes it harder for us to ship

[@allenward48]

Will this stick to an aluminum boat

[@marineskins]

Yes they can go straight over bare aluminium. Check out our Instagram page marine_skins for transformation photos

[@brennanbullock1281]

what is the material specs?

[@marineskins]

We use Avery Dennison mpi1105 with 6460DOL

[@NautilusBoatworks]

Great video but the music is terrible and distracting

This would have been a really good video if not for the music...way to loud compared to voice and I just got gave up constantly playing with volume

[@paulwoodcock1449]

Very informative. But lose the music !!!! The bits you put the music on just needed to be speeded up .

[@marineskins]

Ok next time

[@danielsartain8975]

kill the music

[@christophermays2108]

Loose the music!

[@stephenauty2402]

i'd rather listen to silence than that "music"

[@marineskins]

Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately on the day of recording we had a plover in the background causing a high pitch screeching in the audio which we edited out and replaced with the music. Music like any art form is subjective, some will like it and some won't.

[@andrewwallace9570]

Sorry but your speech audio is impossible to make out - very muffled!
