Abstract: A re-usable shrinkwrap material is defined by a shrinkable material capable of retaining its shape after shrinking. A releasable fastener, such as a zipper, hook and loop fastener or the like is secured to the material and is used to secure the material to an article to be sealed prior to the shrinking thereof. The material is a pre-formed shell which loosely conforms to the shape of the article to be sealed prior to being applied thereover. After shrinking, the shell can be removed by releasing the means for fastening or releasable fastener. Since the shell retains its shape it can then be re-used at a later date by applying it anew over the article and re-fastening together the means for releasing.

Abstract: A fuselage of an aircraft or other portion of a motive craft is sealed with a heat shrinkable film section. After the film section is emplaced, a double-sided adhesive strip or adhesive transfer is wrapped therearound. Then, adjoining sections of film are adhered to the tape or adhesive to form an overlap. When heat is applied to the film an airtight seal is formed. The adhesive film may be used to adhere together adjacent other sections of heat shrinkable sheets assembled in similar overlapping fashion. The heat shrinkable material may be pre-formed to loosely conform to the sections of the craft to which it is to be adhered. A plurality of such loosely conformable sections can be pre-packaged in a kit form having the adhesive medium disposed at the outer or free edges thereof. The heat shrinkable material may be a multi-layered material having a shrinkable first layer and a cushioning second layer.
