I've been itching to try this on faded wrap. If you decide to try it with your project, please keep me posted as to progress. If this stuff works, faded drum wrap will become a thing of the past.

Hope the info helps...

Looks promising :p

But I don't think it's available in Europe, I'm gonna search a similar product here now I know it excists ;)

Thanks purdie!!

Most old drum wraps suffer from several problems. Fading, checking and oxidizing. They may also become brittle. Fading is a condition under which the pigment in the wrap fades due to the effect of light. When the wrap is checked, little cracks open up the interior of the wrap to air and airborne pollutants. The glittery finish on sparkle chips for instance can oxidize and darken. I have had modest success with thorough cleaning and treatment with antioxidents.Maintaining a high gloss on the wrap, helps too but I have had the least success dealing with fading.-----This product does look promising; my guess is that it coats and fills and therefore increases light diffusion, thereby bringing slightly new life to the finnish. Drum wraps are not vinyl. The only ones in my experience that might be vinyl are the sort of 3D satin flame wraps that Sonor used. I have some of those and they appear to be so.Older drum wraps are Celluloid----and might not be compatible with this product.
