How To Fit a Drum Wrap
Preparing your drum shell
1. Place your drum shell on a flat and level surface. Remove dust using the soft brush.
2. Find the wrap position you require by offering up the wrap to the drum shell, Place a piece of masking tape on the face side of the drum wrap in the Centre, mark a start point on the drum shell in the middle of the shell on the bearing edge using a pencil and transfer the mark onto the drum wrap in the same position, this is used later to align the two parts accurately. For wrap with images that fit between lugs this positioning is critical. Take your time here we want you to be happy with your final result.
Preparing your wrap using double sided tape method.
1. Place your drum wraps face down onto a plastic sheet or other to avoid scratches to wrap face.
2. Apply double sided seam tape to the finish end of you wrap Make sure the edges of the tape and wrap are flush , Trim to length and smooth down with a rubber roller.
3. Apply 2″ double sided body tape to the rest of the wrap in strips lengthways or just apply tape to just the end section vertically the same way the seam tape is applied.
Applying wrap to the drum shell
1. Place the drum shell back onto the clean level surface with the bearing edge pencil mark visiable, peel off the body tape from the wrap and align the pencil marks as per section 1
2.Now the pencil marks are aligned smooth out the wrap around the outer diameter of your drumshell. Fix the body tape down all the way and leave the seam tape end away slightly to give you space to remove the seam tape outer film.
3. Peel off seam tape outer film and apply pressure to the seam. Use a wooden block with clamps for 24hrs till adhesive is cured.
Lug Location holes/Snare strainer /Butt End holes
From the inside of your drum shell you have all the location holes to fit your external fittings to the drumshell. Be careful when piercing the drum wrap location holes. Always place a block of wood on the outer diameter to avoid injury.
