F.A.Q
WRINKLES?
When you have applied the skin; if there are any wrinkles present, simply lift up that section and reapply. If the wrinkles do not disappear, lift the section again and apply heat from a blow dryer for about 5-10 seconds. Reapply immediately after applying the heat. BE CAREFUL WHEN REAPPLYING, AS THE MATERIAL COULD BE HOT. This act will loosen up the material, and allow you to smooth out the material. Be careful not to over stretch the skin when reapplying.
During the life of the Driver Wrap there may be small wrinkles around the edges of the skin. To fix the wrinkles apply heat from a blow dryer for 10 seconds to the area and then press down the wrinkles. If necessary, administer additional heat to secure the skins position.
BUBBLES?
If air bubbles are present, first, try pressing the bubble(s) to the nearest side to release the air. To make the process easier, you can use a plastic card to apply more consistent pressure. If the bubble does not disappear try to reapply that section. If the skin has already been applied and secured, you may use a sewing needle to remove the trapped air from the bubble. Be careful to not tear or stretch the skin during this process.
HOW DO I REMOVE MY Driver Wrap?
It is IMPORTANT to understand that once the skin is removed, it will never fit properly again. To remove the skin, begin lifting one of the corners from the club head. Start by the toe and work your way back. If you intend to reuse the Driver Wrap be careful during the removal process, as you can tear or stretch the material. TMCG does not recommend you try to reuse the same skin once it has been removed. It will never fit or look the same once it has been completely removed. If adhesive residue appears after removal of the skin, simply wipe down the club head with a damp cloth.
WILL MY Driver Wrap ADHESIVE CAUSE DAMAGE TO MY CLUB HEAD?
The adhesive used with the Driver Wrap should not cause any harm to the club head surface. The adhesive used with Driver Wrap is not permanent and will always be able to be removed. It is the same adhesive that has been consistently used on metals in the customization industry. BE AWARE: if your club has loose or chipped paint, the adhesive could remove some of that loose or chipped paint.
WILL Driver Wrap PROTECT MY CLUB HEAD FROM SKY MARKS OR SCRATCHES?
In a situation where you have skied the ball, the skin’s vinyl will act as a barrier between the top surface of the club head and the ball. The skin’s vinyl will help limit the damage done when you sky the ball or scratch the top surface of the club head. Tyson’s Model City Glass does not guarantee the skin will completely protect the top surface of the club head from sky marks, nicks, or scratches as the skin serves as a layer of protection. Sky marks, nicks and scratches will be evident on the skin if they occur. It is better for those to be on the skin than on your club!
HOW LONG WILL MY APPLIED Driver Wrap ADHERE TO MY CLUB HEAD?
The skin is not permanent. The adhesive is strong enough to stay on your club for months but the life of the skin is dependent on the correct application and proper maintenance. If the skin is not applied correctly, you may begin to notice it not adhering to the edges of the club. Tyson’s Model City Glass does not guarantee any certain length of time the skin will adhere to the club.
BE AWARE: If your club has loose or chipped paint, the adhesive could remove some of that loose or chipped paint.
Tools Needed
- Damp and Dry Cloth
- Blow Dryer and/or Plastic Card (Be careful when touching after using the Blow Dryer. It could be extremely hot.)
- Sharp Scissors or Xacto Knife
Quick Prep Steps and Tips
- Read over the entire Driver Wrap Instructions before applying it to the club head and take your time. Wipe the club with a damp cloth and let it dry completely before applying the Driver Wrap above the metal wood to get a visual of how it will sit.
- It is recommended to have a blow dryer when applying the Driver Wrap. Use the blow dryer on the adhesive side for 10 seconds or until the skin is warm and then continue with the application process. The heat will make the skin easier to apply and secure its location. Once the trimming process is complete and the edges are pressed down, use the blow dryer until the skin is warm and press again around the edges for total security.
- It is important when you are pulling the skin towards a particular side you are at the same time using your thumb as a combing agent to secure a clean and wrinkle free application.
- Peel the Driver Wrap from the backing paper, exposing the adhesive. Be sure to not allow the Big Wig adhesive sides to stick to each other. It could possibly damage or impair the Driver Wrap.
- When applying to clubs with ridges or dips press the skin close to the deepest part of the ridge or dip and secure its position. Watch for air pockets around these areas. The blow dryer is helpful with these areas to really get the skin loose.
Applying (3-5 minutes to apply)
- First step is to align the skin close to the base of the shaft and directly above the hitting surface. Secure the front half of the shaft cut out around the base of the shaft by pressing the Wrap firmly to the club.
- Then pull the skin towards the toe of the club aligning it along but above the hitting surface of the club. In one motion when you are pulling the skin use your thumb as a combing agent to secure the skin wrinkle free (Try to have none of the club’s paint exposed but do not have the skin on the hitting surface). If the Driver Wrap does not line up, peel it back and try to reapply. Be careful when peeling it back.
- Next firmly pull the Driver Wrap toward and over the back end of the club. Be sure to use your thumb as a combing agent(thumb is dragging behind securing the skins position wrinkle free) when pulling the skin.It is important to pull it tight over the entire club and be sure that there are no wrinkles when you are securing its location. (There will be an excess amount hanging over the club).
- Once the Driver Wrap is pulled tightly over the club, and there are no wrinkles present, press down from the center to both sides. Move toward the back of the club head once the material is evenly pressed down from side to side and smooth. When you are pressing down make sure there are no wrinkles present. Pull the skin up at anytime to remove any wrinkles.
- There should be an excess amount hanging over the club, use scissors to closely trim off the excess material around the curved edge of the club. Start at the back end of the shaft and work your way around the club to the toe. Get as close to the club as you can and try to cut on the same straight path. (It is very important when you are trimming the skin, that the skin is trimmed to just hang over the curvature part of the club. If it is trimmed to sit above the curvature it will be more susceptible to wrinkles.) BE CAREFUL TO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE CLUB WHEN TRIMMING.
- When the trimming process is complete and the Driver Wrap is applied; use a blow dryer over the entire Driver Wrap, especially on the edges.
- After using the blow dryer and the Driver Wrap is not hot, we suggest you then use your thumb and firmly press down on all of the edges to secure the Driver Wrap position. (If you do not have access to a blow dryer, use at least a plastic card to secure the edges.)
