>I've heard that a similar / suitable type of heavy-duty bubble wrap
material is used to make swimming pool covers. (Jimmy Andrews)
I'd be careful with that material. Its a high quality bubble wrap -- it
won't tear easily -- but its designed to act like a greenhouse, letting
radiant energy in from the sun and trapping the heat of the water.
You'll notice this when you pull the cover off the pool, the top 6" or
so of the pool can get bathtub hot. You'll also notice that you get an
opaque sheet of plastic with the cover. You use this to shield the cover
from the sun when its rolled up because if you don't the cover can get
so hot it will actually start to melt the plastic.
So, yes, the stuff's good for shielding the wing from bumps and
scratches but don't leave the wing in the sun unless you're trying to
cook it.
