Getting A Bottle Wrap On

[brawler1588]

So I have done a lot of these. What I am curious about is the lubricant used, I was tought how to do it by Ernest Rowe he used a vegetable oil Coats the bottle and a light layer on the wrap most of it dries and the wrap doesn't move after some time. Another good friend recommended a silicone Grease because he said the vegetable oil over time would stink but ever since I switched to the silicone Grease the wrap goes on much easier but it spins around much more and sometimes makes bottle removal hard. Any information would be appreciated

(So ?) What type of "wrap" ?

I've wrapped (vinyl) several gun stocks and used nothing but the adhesive on the wrap. Place it correctly in the first place, before you press it into place, done.

I used food grade silicone. Worked great. I havent had a wrap spin on me yet though.

The heat shrink type.

We are discussing neoprene wraps here - right? I use a mix of Dawn dishwashing liquid and warm water to aid in pulling the neoprene on. Once dried there hasn't been any movement.

A mesh wrap ? On scuba tanks we used sillycone spray then soak the wrap in hot water to help it expand the mesh then slip it right on cold water to wash / rinse off any excess sillycone and was good to go .

Spot on!

Blasting it with some brake cleaner should remove enough silicone buildup between the tank and wrap for it to stop slipping

Are we discussing bottles on the rifle or air tanks for refilling?
Either way….Imho. Brake cleaner should never be used where there is fiberglas or CF since it is a harsh petroleum based solvent and will deteriorate these materials.

He used my silicone Grease option on his.

I’d try warm, extra soapy water. I picture a greased pig situation, which would be supplemented with horrific cursing and screaming and I’m twice as mad at Joe B, when I fail and the sticker laughs…

I did it the easy way I know with silicone Grease.

I use hairspray on motorcycle grips. Slippery when wet then acts like a glue. Remember to return the hairspray. In my experience wives don’t like finding it in the garage!
