i think if you take your time and lay out a plan it wont be so bad that thumb hole made it a bit more difficult.

If I did that there'd be creases, areas with bare wood showing, bloodstains and a lot of wasted camo stuff.

Might want to read up on this stuff, some comments on the web about "rust" on steel parts when the camo was finally removed or scraped off.

Like most surface finishing, it's all about the prep I'm sure. A super dry and clean surface would be priority 1 except... heat gun + vinyl wrapping may cause condensation regardless?

yeah once it's heated it's very pliable.

Good call! 

I haven't used it myself, but my younger brother did his .308  deer rifle in camo vinyl wrap, and it rusted  .  Not this exact brand mind you, but still vinyl, nonetheless. When he peeled it off, there was a fair bit of moisture trapped there.

He never even would have known about it, except he decided to put a different pattern on. After seeing that though, he stripped the rifle down, re-blued it, and no vinyl has touched it since!

Easy to see how this happens... take a piece of steel pipe at ambient temp and avg humidity, hit it with a heat gun and watch it sweat until all the moisture is gone. Prob is, as it cools, it attracts mositure again. Not sure how to overcome this and need to think it through cause I like the heat-shrink concept. Still... this product could/should be fine for plastic pump arms and grips etc.

Looks great but keep in mind I did my gun for four dollars
Pull it off and then put it back on again three or four more times.
All for the price of $4.  If there is a little stick um left, goo gone takes it right off.

Wally, that's a fantastic camo job. RC
