I love that burlwood. Any tips on how to wrap a box mod? I haven't wrapped anything before so I have no idea where to start?
Classy looking, easy vinyl skin mod

Wow, I love it! I love what you have done with your SD MKII. What end caps do you have on them and where did you get them from? I have always hated the black plastic cover. Thanks

I just used some chrome spray paint from a local Ace hardware. I masked off the part that friction fits into the base before painting it. It would have worn off of that part of the cap anyways.
I just noticed the question about doing a box mod.... I have no idea since I haven't tried specifically. On mods with curvy contours, I used a hair dryer to heat the vinyl before peeling it off the backing paper. I got it pretty hot which makes the vinyl easy to stretch. I pulled it tight across the mod and smoothed out any wrinkles. When it cooled down it stayed put pretty well (i.e., hasn't peeled yet).

Great ideas! Thanks for sharing. I wouldn't mind trying that if I can get a really small can

The Burlwood decal is lovely.
How would one wrap a decal around a tube PV that has buttons and/or a display : eGo, KGO, LavaTube

For my LT, I used a thin piece of paper, cut it to the right size, taped it onto the tube, marked the cutting spots (I used a triangle for the 3 buttons), overlayed the paper onto the skin and taped those together and then cut them both at once. I also have Star Wars decals on order.
I should be getting some new pics up when I get a chance, but I gotta tell you all about this....
I ordered some of the marine teak wood 3m di-noc vinyl on a whim. It's frickin textured!!!!
I wanted it for wrapping cartos for a Touchwood mini I picked up a few days ago. The vinyl has grain lines molded into it. Kinda looks like I'm vaping a dowel rod. If I didn't tell you, you would swear I had a wood carto at first glance.
Like I said, I'll add some pics as soon as I can.

Sorry it took so long to get these up. I'm not much use with a camera. It's hard to make out, but there is a degree of texture/grain lines to the vinyl. Since I got the Touchwood mini, I've been trying to find a carto/atty color that looked right with it. I finally settled on the 1.7 ohm mini cartos from COV, a gold drip tip, and the marine teak 3M vinyl from Metrodecals. As before, my poor efforts at photography do not do it justice. Stuff sticks better than glue. I paid around $4 for a single sheet. Thats plenty to wrap several packs of cartos or attys.
VERY nice, I was thinking of this one Chuck Norris Approved vinyl decal for my Chuck....lol
Seriously though..thank you for the idea and pointing us in right direction !!
