I was wondering how long I should wait before wrapping SS painted parts in foam wrap and/or plastic? They will need to be stored for a while in a cramped, busy space.
Get some cotton towels or cotton sheets from Wal-Mart or the like. I'd be wary of moving blankets unless they are very high quality and perfectly clean. If they are the HF ones forget it.Barry, I plan to cover panels in the unheated side of the building once in SS with new moving blankets from HF. So if I go the flow coat route, say 5 coats total, no need to wait that long? I was thinking 3-4 weeks.
I was watching a guy on YouTube explaining how to examine C3 corvettes for birdcage rust. He said, "this one was under the blue tarp of death." Cracked me upi saw a car collection some years ago that all had plastic on them. suppose to keep the dust off. i mentioned it could damage the paint and the guys went nuts. telling me how the plastic protected it bla bla bla. then they started pulling plastic to show me. i found bubbles and water damage on the first 3 . they were freaking out . my bet is every one of them had some level of damage .
plastic aint your friend .
No problem, I did exactly the same thing. St Vini's is a great place to get "protective wrap". I almost felt bad cutting up a really nice cotton duvet cover.Stopped at Saint Vincent DePaul, similar to Goodwill today. Picked up some washed, free of stains and tears, 100% cotton bed sheets. 5 to $8 depending on size. Thank you Someday Driver for posting the question.
