It's raining outside. So I thought of making mud flaps out of Gorilla Tape and will try them out. At first glance and feel, they might be the toughest mud flaps I have tried. The hard rubber flaps I made earlier are still good, I just wanted to try something different and see if it works.
materials needed:
my
mud flaps template printed on a 8.5 by 11 sheet of paper.
about 34 inches of
Gorilla tape
some transparent packing tape or pieces of Scotch Tape.
straight edge
hobby knife with new blade
something to punch holes with
6 tie wraps
I started by laying two 7 inch strips of Gorilla Tape side by side, sticky side up
then I stuck four 4 inch strips side by side and perpendicular to the first 2 strips
next I put one 7 inch strip in the middle
and finally, the last 7 inch strip is split in half along it's length and stuck on either side of the last strip that I put in the middle
I taped a template with packing tape so that it wouldn't move
using my hobby knife and a straight edge, I cut on the lines of the template and the soon to be mud flap underneath.
I used this simple little thing to punch holes in paper to punch the holes for the tie wraps.
I used a Sharpie to color the edges for a finishing touch.
Here they are installed, they look kinda cool, like leather mud flaps.
