using glue on tape wrap

Posts: 878 Threads: 190

I just received delivery of some wrap which is the tape kind. It's excellent quality wrap, btw. However, in laying it up to the shell for a look, I can see that this method is going to leave quite a few spots on the drums where the wrap is not tight. I started thinking about glueing it; but the problem is (see pictures) the wrap has to sit in the middle of the shells (because they have had their bearing edges radically re-cut). So I won't have a wall to guide me - if I mess up laying the piece of wrap dead centre - I'm screwed. If I use the low-bond tape (and some clamps) to fix it dead centre; then glue up the shell and wrap and attach it, thus preserving the dead centre of the wrap? Could this work? Any other ideas? (And no - there is no-one here who can do this job). Thanks for your time - it's much appreciated.

I see how this can be tricky. Here is a little pictoral I did for wrapping a drum.

Once you mark the wrap and the shell where you want it, secure the wrap to the table, then slide the shell along the wall down to the wrap...

If the wall is square and the wrap is parallel to the wall it should work fine and line up great.

Yes - of course. Make a sort of jig, in fact, with 2 square surfaces. I can have "dry" runs at it. Plus I can put the clamps on the taped area to hold it tight.

Thanks very much indeed.
