Shrink wrap repair
 
When I was trying to clean the 2 feet of snow off my boat I noticed 2 small tears on my shrink wrap. Does anybody know if there is something I can use to cover that. I dont want any moisture to get in and the tears are not very big. I should of left the snow alone! :(

Duct tape should work okay.

duct tape does not always hold. call the installer and buy some shrink wrap tape or call your local marina i am sure they will have it. when you put the tape on cross 2 pieces it works better that way and if possible use a hair dryer.

i should have told you also if the hole is big enough and you can get a piece of wrap and tape, place the wrap on the original wrap and hold it down with 4 pieces of tape like a patch. heat the tape till it shrinks and then heat the new piece of wrap. that will be a perfect repair
