Steps To Making Professional Drum Shells Masking

By Carl Thomas


It is time you want to make a change on your drum looks and you have no knowledge on doing this. Do not worry because there are ways in which to understand before you make your first move to creating the appearance you want on the tank. The wrappings are available in stores where you can purchases them, but know they are of smaller sizes and not enough to cover the whole area around drum shells hence require two to be joined to make the appropriate look.

To understand the length required for one thump, you have to wrap the material round the barrel. This will make it easier to know the size of every drum you want masked. Mark the part where the joints will be made and proceed to making calculations of materials you need for the whole project. One wrapping will be enough for smaller tanks hence need to understand the size and number before making the purchase.

The cutting must be done with a person who is able to cut the material straight. This is to achieve the outcome you want for the material. Wrappings are made of two tips which are different to cut using the scissors. Sparkles are the best to be cut since they are easier and soft therefore most applicable in situations where you are running out of time for the delivery if doing this for business. The other is glass glitter which you must use a sharp scissors to ensure you achieve the size you want.

You have you be able to use the measuring tape to measure these distances where you need to know the round size adding another inch at the end to ensure the overlap will not make it small. After knowing this, you are supposed to lay down the wrap flat and measure those distances and mark on the end to cut next.

After completing this task, test if the size you have created will fit the whole round and leave an overlap of not more than one inch. Since this must look professional, ensure the wrapping seem is not visible at far. This is done by masking the whole item tightly leaving the one inch overlap during the time you glue the other parts.

Larger drums use two pieces or more depending on their size. Therefore, you should be able to consider the length plus the seam to know the appropriate pieces to purchase. Also, make an overlap mark to ensure you know where the seam will be made.

Peeling back the plastic of the materials to the area whereby the seam will be made is a great idea. To make the joining part of the material sticky for the glue, ensure it is made soft by covering it with a tape.

A raze blade is a very important thing in this process. Therefore you have to use it on straitening the seam. Use sand paper for this part of the swathe to become smooth. To achieve a professional look on the tank, understand every aspect without leaving out any details.
