SPRAYFOAM GODDESS Posted: Sep 04, 2008 12:24 PM	Most contractors will wrap in plastic wrap/stretch wrap/saran wrap, then put hose sleeving on, then duct tape. Plastic wrap will contain a leak, and keep duct tape from sticking to the foam wrap. Some will tape and then sleeve it, but it can get torn and caught on nails/screws. Sleeving is about 1.20 a foot and comes in many colors, I like pink & purple, lol. It makes a BOLD statement.
clint moore Posted: Sep 05, 2008 02:37 PM	1) electrical tape around the connections. 2) scuff jacket hose. 3) plastic wrap hose. 4) duct tape hose. This allows you to cut the tape,slide back scuff and do repairs on joints and retape. We use to just duct tape hose over scuff jacket first sticky side up then rewrap sticky side down. Too time consuming & expensive.

clint moore Posted: Sep 12, 2008 10:20 AM	Not too keen on the purple,but I like the pink. Call me. P.S. like the picture,peace.

quentin Posted: Sep 12, 2008 02:11 PM	How does a blonde turn on the lights? She opens the car door! :D Hmmm, pink hoses would be pretty cool to have. I may have to get my hands on some spray paint or etc for that then. I like to keep people around me on their toes and wondering. Saves them asking me stupid questions as often if they aare a bit nervious. LOL

Yvan Richard Posted: Sep 15, 2010 10:34 PM	I have been buying hose without the scuff jacket. I first cut strips of 6 mill poly approx. 12" wide. I wrap is right against the hose, when you are wrapping the hose it over laps many time. You probably end up with 30 mill of poly. I then simply duct tape it. This is very inexpensive.
SPFer Posted: Sep 16, 2010 06:37 AM	We've never used the plastic or poly liner. I can see the upside, but how about the fact that if there is a leak in your hose, you won't know about it?
SPFer Posted: Sep 16, 2010 06:38 AM	We also did use blue and red duct tape. Each section was a different color so you knew how much hose you had out.
Daniel X Posted: Sep 16, 2010 08:57 PM	If I had a leak in my hose, I would know about it, because I keep an eye of my gauges.
SPFer Posted: Sep 16, 2010 09:05 PM	Gauges? Where are those at and what do they look like?

caddis,,
if you have a leak,,you will know it..(by now you have the experience to "feel it" at the gun,,and your eyeballs will tell ya on the wall that somethings amiss),,,but back to plastic wrapped hose set and a leak,,
it will..like water thru a leakin roof,,find its way somewhere to let you know..
but it is a great fluid containment system in a disaster like a leak in the hose,,and may help you avoid a costly and sometimes difficult cleanup bill...
i like to shrink wrap cause it helps compact the system as you pull it around the hose set,,,
it also keeps the tape off your hose set and allows you a layer of interference to gain access..
now then,,,had an electrician tell me that duct tape is conductive,,and darned tootin he's right...
