Restoring a Vintage Tama FibreStar

Рет қаралды 383,404

I had the opportunity to snag up this vintage set of Tama fibrestars for a pretty fair price, so I couldn't pass it up. It was in great shape for its age but the wrap was falling apart. The previous owner was going to rewrap the kit with carbon fiber contact paper, but never got around to it. I wanted to liven it up some so what better color than yellow!
Everything I used in the video, plus more!

I'm the previous owner of this kit. David did this kit total justice!!! The carbon fiber wrap was my attempt to do SOMETHING to this kit as the wrap was in rough shape. I gave up on it and glad David was able to give this kit its proper due.

If it makes you feel any better, I think carbon wraps look sick in the right context

@johnhanes4442 4 жыл бұрын

@@jackhwthorne It can however, I was toying with the idea of rewrapping this kit and tried the carbon fiber as an experiment. Not a huge fan then I had some other things come up that I put the rewrap idea aside. It all worked out as David did justice to this kit....more than I could have!

I prefer the faux carbon to the lars yellow, but respect for realising you didn’t have the time and passing it on to someone who did.

@buckwhitfield8195 3 жыл бұрын

I repair quite a few vintage shells, and the one thing I would offer is how I cut the holes through the wrap. I use a small cordless drill and a block of wood. I determine the correct drill bit size for the hole. Hold a block tightly against the wrap side and drill through the hole into the block. Takes less than five minutes to get all the holes done and they're cut clean and exact.
