I’m looking for the plastic sheeting thats like saran wrap
and comes on a roll. Its used to wrap a shaped blank
and keep it free of fingerprints, dirt etc until glassed.
Its also used by movers.
I’ve been looking around and all I have noticed
is regular plastic sheeting??

Can’t remeber what it’s called … It’s shipping wrap. I get it at Office Depot or Office Max.
Also called stretch wrap. Not shrink wrap.
You can also order it online from Uline.com, they specialize in the sales of packaging and other cool warhouse stuff.
I just use the grocery store brand Cling wrap, stretch wrap
ya, that stuff

Home Depot and Lowes both sell it next to the moving supplies…bubble wrap, packing tape, boxes, etc.
I’ve also seen Harbor Freight carry the small handheld size…which I think would be useful for a one man
operation.
Using the big roll is a three arm operation.
I use it as a release film in the bag…and to lock veneer in place before bagging…just wrap tightly around
the whole board and shifting is no longer an issue.
\ Hey Afoaf.
That’s f^%*ing brilliant!
I’m doing bamboo veneer board skins, as well as bamboo veneer fin skins over core-cell foam/carbon/S-glass cores, as we speak…
I had excellent results with a 6" wide roll of stretch plastic cellophane that I bought at the dollar store for “guess how much??”
I wrap it around the board after peel-ply and the breather is applied…, this stuff holds it all really tight until I slide it in the bag…
I was wondering how to hold the bamboo skins on the fins in a precise location to let the underlying carbon fiber show through at the perimeter…
Thanks for the “wake up” man! The answer was down in my shop all the time…![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=12)
