How to Refurbish a Bunker Rake

Here’s a video summary of how to quickly, and easily, use our vinyl coverings to update existing equipment at a low cost. How to Refurbish Bunker Rakes:

  1. Cut a length of vinyl 3″ longer than the rake handle, to allow for longitudinal shrinkage.
  2. If you wish to replace the grip (new grips are available from VinylGuard) do so first, before applying VinylGuard.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
