Nice cards OG, ought to work very well. Much better than a paper plate.

 

im real happy to say that this winter i can get salt dust on my
arches but yet caldust them like the rest of the car thanks to BW.

my G's hibernating now, it's MCS season. (on dry days, that is).

 

Ken I used your idea and bought a laminating machine. It's slow as molasses, and after doing a number of tests, realized that I would have to precut the Curve on the card before doing the lamination otherwise it will delaminate over time if you cut the card up past the laminated edge. At a rate of maybe 5 an hour, I don't think I'll be doing these in mass quantity any time soon.

Good idea though--maybe in time, I can use a commercial service to make it more feasible.

^^ i see. yah, my wife has those manual laminating machines thingies
and it goes by pretty quick. but the laminate itself is pretty expensive.

you might be better off just doing a diecut tool and making your
own R53/56 guard out of rubber.

 

Well they have different machines--cold laminations and hot ones--I got the hot one thinking it might be more durable. But it takes like a minute to feed it in, then it's super hot and has to be cooled down, and not something you can just start to feed and walk away, otherwise it goes askew. So I found I can feed it about 50% of the way then do something else.

Oh man, Ken you're just so full of ideas---hahaha. Another great idea--but don't expect me to come back and say--it's all done! That'll be put on the back burner for now.

or just get a sheet of semi-clear rubber and have the user cut it. lol

 

Thats what I planned on doing with some rubber/Nylon .

Hmm where would one get this stuff ???? .

Whilst I`m being a complete Lazy a^s whats the radius of the fender flare. ??

 

Do what I did, take some paper and slip it between the arch and body panel and trace it. lol. The arch isn't a perfect circle so it won't be completely accurate throughout, but I took the measurements off the top of the arch and it fits over most of the major curves.
