PINK you buy, the more Dr. Shrink donates!

This month the Dr. is highlighting products and services as it relates to the
Marine & Recreation Industry. No matter the size and depth of the waters our boats traverse, they are our vessels to adventure and enjoyment. They are also a large investment with critical dependence on maintenance and care.
Shrink wrap is a tremendous asset for ship yard or marina owners in increasing profitability. There is a great profit margin for shrink wrapping boats and the profit grows the larger the boat gets. If you are currently a boat/ship yard or marina owner that offers winterization services, by adding shrink wrapping as a service, boat owners will get a complete winterization package from your company when they pull their boats out of the water.

If refinishing or remodeling a yacht, shrink wrap assists the process by acting as an enclosure. Additionally, shrink wrapped boats can be worked on year round-- and you'll have no worries about chafing, abrasion, scratching, and other concerns.
At. Dr. Shrink, we stock a complete line of American-made shrink wrap products capable of wrapping any size or type of boat. With
premium shrink wrap available up to 60 feet wide, even the largest of boats can be protected from shipping or storage damage.
Dr. Shrink only supplies premium 100% virgin resin shrink wrap featuring maximum UV inhibitors. This high quality material ensures long-term usage and maximum protection. Unlike tarps, the shrink wrap will protect from most weather damage, is waterproof, and offers one-piece coverage.

Breast Cancer Awareness
|
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Dr. Shrink wants to help. For every roll of PINK shrink wrap purchased during October, we will donate $10.00 per roll towards the cause. There's no better way to show your support for Breast Cancer Awareness than by showing/wearing/promoting the color pink. Promote awareness by adding pink to your wardrobe, wallet/purse, and of course your shrink wrap jobs during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
See our recent blog for other applications that were wrapped in our pink material.

Dog of the Month:
Pumpkin Stenberg
|
Here at D
r. Shrink, Inc. we are an animal friendly office (to say the least!) and our pets are part of our family. There are 6 dogs and an office cat that roam around on a daily basis, so we decided we should introduce them to you. You may have heard a few of the more vocal dogs through the phone when you call. We are featuring each of our dogs so you can put a face with the voice!
Meet Pumpkin! Pumpkin was found by Maggie, Mike's daughter in a cardboard box at our local Kmart when she was about 4 weeks old. She was a beautiful puppy with the biggest paws that they've ever seen - luckily she did not grow into them. Growing up she looks like she was put together from a collection of dog parts with her big fluffy tail, tiny legs, big paws and spunk. She's very loyal, loves her people and is an all around a happy pup, except when Mike is away. We love our little Pumpkin!

PROJECT of the Month
Hurricane Damage Repair
|
Our thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in the south who were impacted by Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma. We have had several customers send us photos of repair work they are doing with shrink wrap in the form of disaster restoration. The photos below show shrink wrap being used on the roof of a home in LaBelle, Florida.
LaBelle took a direct hit by Hurricane Irma with 140 mph sustained wind. The house was hit on the roof by an 80' long, 2 1/2 in diameter Eucalyptus tree; they said its weight was around 8,000 lb. The tree caused a 6' x 8' hole in the roof and shattered 3 trusses.
40' wide shrink wrap coupled with a roll of 28' wide were rolled across the roof and heat welded together, making the length of the roof right around 66' with about 8" to secure the film to the roof at each end. At the edges of the roof, the shrink film was rolled around 250' of 1" x 2" furring strips which were nailed to the fascia with an air powered nailer to hold the film in place.
The temperature was 93 degrees on the ground and well over 100 degrees on the roof (black shingles) in addition to firing the propane fired heat tool. The complete job took 2 workers 10 hours to totally complete.
We continue to think of everyone in the south as they continue to repair the damage that Hurricane Harvey and Irma have caused. Please call us with any questions regarding disaster restoration.
