Thanks everyone.

The wrap is about 6.5 inches. I ordered around a 10 inch diamond skin from mudhole. I did not do anything to the skin. I put it on with CP and applied 3 coats of CP before applying the epoxy.

Forgot to mention it works well to. I just pulled up a 28 inch red snapper at a rig about 35 miles out of port A.

The wind has been blowing so we have only gotten out once this week. We managed to get 5 red snappers total with one being 28 and another being 27 inches long. Also caught 6 chicken dolphin at a weed line. Hope to get out tomorrow for a second chance then it is back to work.
