By Carl Thomas

The reason for wrapping the shell is to enhance looks and also to prevent the materials inside the tanks not to absorb heat or get rust. You need to configure the size of wrappings you need for all barrels in place. You can request for help from experienced supplier to measure the length of the drum and calculate the size you need for all drum shells for your project.

The first thing you need to do in order to know the right size for one cask is cover it round and mark the edge so you will know the length needed for one. After you figure it out on one, it is now time that you multiply the length with the number of pulsate to know the size of finishing buying. This is only applicable in small sizes since most of the covers manufactured are smaller in sizes hence the larger ones will have to be combined to make the circle.

These materials are not easy to cut therefore you need to use a sharp scissors to make a straight cut without leaving bruises. However, there are two types of wrapping, one is easier to cut and is sparkles made while the other is hard but possible to cut known as glass glitter but it can only be cut using a very sharp scissors.

This is the only way to know the round size of the drum to allow you decide on the size of material to buy for the whole task. Cutting is then done by laying the drape flat on the floor or table and measure the distances equivalent to ones on the shell.

The other thing is to test the wrap for fitting. The seam is another great worry to many people, therefore, you should know it is hidden under object to ensure it is not easily seen. For the joint, you only need not more than one inch. To ensure you line up the seam, tighten enclose when gluing during the fitting. After making the seam match with the area you wanted, transfer the mark made at the center to the shell edge.

Larger drums use two pieces or more depending on their size. Therefore, you should be able to consider the length plus the seam to know the appropriate pieces to purchase. Also, make an overlap mark to ensure you know where the seam will be made.

Peeling back the plastic of the materials to the area whereby the seam will be made is a great idea. To make the joining part of the material sticky for the glue, ensure it is made soft by covering it with a tape.
