John good call sending them to Precision. Nice of them to trim the wrapped shells free too. Well of course after you pay shipping to and fro. You have a good amount of $$$ wrapped up in these so doing it right is the way to go. I've only done 1 wrap job and I'm not very good at it yet. But it taught me things to make it easier the 2nd time around. Your well seasoned at these things so I can imagine it's a tough situation your facing there. I guess the green sparkle wrap is much thicker than the burgundy you used on the RB's? I'm sure they'll be in good hands at Precision. :)
The green is not a 'sparkle' wrap, it's a 'glass' wrap, two very different animals. The sparkle wraps do not have any glass in them, just the plastics they use to make the stuff. The sheets are thinner and easier to cut. But this stuff, is like cutting stone. The razor-knife sounds like it's grinding, not cutting. The guy at Precision told me, You're wasting your time trying to cut that stuff with a razor-knife! Won't work. The glass wrap is thicker, heavier in weight and much more dense than regular sparkle wraps.
Precision is a great company to deal with and they do the best work around. I'm grateful to them for offering to do the job gratis (with me paying shipping both ways.) I'm only in for $650 at this point, so it's still a nice deal and I'm enjoying putting the kit together for my grandson, so it's all good.
Thanks longjohn, thanks, Jeff!
