That's so beautiful I'd wrap it in fancy paper before installing it on my desk and unwrapping it!   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Not sure the rest of the office will enjoy the increase of sound from your stapler sombrero   s:scared: :scared: s:scared:  
However the increase in heat from my griddle in the kitchen will become unbearable without said wrapping    s:cry: :cry: s:cry:

First tip, wear gloves.  The wrap will irritate your skin.  I wet the wrap first, it makes it a bit easier.  Try and work with the longest lengths you can.  I use plastic tie-wraps to hold things in place until I'm happy with it, then replace with the steel ones.  50% overlap.

Thanks Carolyn, what would you recommend for cutting the wrap, don't think kitchen scissors will "cut it"   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  
Got the plastick cable ties ready.
Does it get messy if you soak it first? Was hoping to do it in the front room when SWMBO was out   s:D :D s:D

It drips a bit... put it on an old towel?  I cut mine with scissors - but they are sharp.

I'd cut them off.  Or get a Toyosport one with no brackets.

And kitchen scissors cut it fine, although named titanium wrap, I don't think any titanium was involved in the making of said wrap
