How to VinylGuard a Bunker Rake
Getting Started
- Cut a length of vinyl 3″ longer than the rake handle, to allow for longitudinal shrinkage.
- If you wish to replace the grip (new grips are available from Pexco) do so first, before applying VinylGuard.
Spray the bottom of the rake handle
- To ensure long-term, non-slip adherence, spray the bottom of the rake handle next to the rake head and lightly spray the shaft with 3M Super 77 Multipurpose Adhesive – available from VinylGuard.
- QUICKLY slide the vinyl over the shaft.
- Let the excess material overlap the receptacle of the rake head and overlap the grip during shrinking.
Begin shrinking
- Begin shrinking at the bottom of the handle: Push the material downward, pressing the vinyl over the rake head receptacle, until it shrinks and tightly conforms. Then shrink your way up the shaft.
- Let the VinylGuard and rake handle completely cool for at least an hour.
- Trim and remove the excess material covering the rake head receptacle and the grip.
Tip: Remind golfers of your club’s policy with VinlyGuard labels that tell golfers to leave the rakes inside or outside of the bunkers.
