How to Apply VinylGuard to a Ball Washer:
1. Getting Started
- Cut a piece of vinyl 2” longer than the post to allow for longitudinal shrinkage
- Slide the material over the post, overlapping the bottom end
2. Use a high-temperature heat gun with a heavy-duty air blower
- Hold the heat gun a few inches away from the material
- Keep the gun moving back and forth to prevent burning
- Do not apply heat directly to the crease
3. Slowly begin shrinking
- Start at one end, shrink your way along the shaft, rotating the post while applying heat
- Apply sufficient heat to remove any wrinkles
- The vinyl will quickly shrink, tightly conforming to the post and will not loosen over time
- After shrinking trim, the excess vinyl at the bottom with a sharp blade or utility knife
- If necessary, trim the top so that the ball washer fits on the post
