Where gloves its well itchy
But seriously I allways soak the wrap in a bucket of water makes it more plyable

wear gloves or you will have sore itchy hands for a while. some people wet the wrap before fitting but i did my one dry and it is fine.

my c20xe manifold and system!

yes mate, i bought mine from pvs a couple of years ago just never used it. i think you can get them clips from halfrauds

cheers for the other replies. i didnt know you had to wear gloves lol once done ill put a pic up of how i got on

i find that any form of heat insulation is an irritant of some sort, and should be handled very carefully. unless you are wetting it, i'd also say to use a mask
