Default Any Shrink wrappers in New Jersey?

Bought a new to me 35 Donzi ZF and don't have a winter cover for it. Can anyone recommend a shrink wrapper that could do it on a lift around the Toms River, NJ area? All of my other boats always had canvas style covers. Thanks!

You can borrow my heat gun if you want to.

Thanks for the offer, I actually have access to a gun. Looks easy in the video, just not sure about real life.

I work for a manufacture of this product. it is not hard to use. Just know the shrink is a bit slower then you'd think. (meaning it gets hot then shrinks not instantly shrinks) Start slow and keep the gun away from the film until you feel comfortable. Good luck.

It's not hard once you get the hang of it.. Most first timers results do end up looking like Swiss cheese. At least mine did.....

If you catch anything on fire, you are not moving the gun fast enough... Although I am sure you know that. Think of it like painting with a sprayer... you make passes with the heat.
