Any examples of removing wrap from gretsch then diy lacquer job?
Very cool. I've been to the shop and got the tour. Great guys!Precision on facebook removing
I talked to Gary about this. Some of it depends on the wrap itself. Sparkle/glitter wraps are heavier than pearl wraps.I am sure stripping and lacquer is no big deal. Haven't done it yet but I am always looking for another project!
What color is the rewrap RB kit? Precision has done some RB drums for me and I am pretty sure it is very unlikely you would be able to remove a modern/recent glue job without damaging the shell - I'd sure like to see that, though.
For vintage wrap, it would be much easier - I've done Slingy and Ludwig........
Got email from Gary and one other friend.
DONT DO IT
Okay, moving on.
Precision doest mess around. Their glue jobs are very thorough. Lots of glue and not made to unwrap. (Unless had a precision wrap job they removed with success I will go with Gary's recommendation)
I would buy Shiner's kit but I have to admit, as absolutely gorgeous in looks and sound as they are ...the 12" tom mount is a deal breaker.
Its a 100% no go. Precision said since the glue the wrap to the whole drum its not going to come off without ruining the drum.
In the old days they used much less glue.
OK. Moving on to the next drama![]()
Sorry to waste everyone's time.
Which tom mount? The Starcast thing? That's a great mount. Very functional, too. Of course, you can always take it off and just use a snare stand. Also, the mount on the bass drum doesn't go into the drum, btw.Got email from Gary and one other friend.
