Yeah, I wasn’t going to suggest that one because it’s easy to mess up and get frustrated with if you don’t know what you are doing.

I’ve tried it with no skill and uhh.. heh

But then I helped wrap several race vehicles, the storm windows (with frosted glitter so it looks like frost) and my own shower (underwater world from Mario) and learned how the soapy water thing actually works.

If someone does want to try this, apply a lot of pressure. You need to squeeze all the liquid out, or any pockets will degrade quickly and fail.

Gotta disagree. If you're not using soap, the vinyl tacks on, impossible to adjust without stretching it to hell and back. Maybe I'm just uncoordinated, but I can't lay anything larger than a sheet of paper without fucking it up.

Also, it's pretty easy to chase the water out. Of course you press fairly hard, but no one who isn't bedridden is too weak to do it.
