Wrapping weights tightly so that they stay in place during long drive
Hello. Didn't know where else to post this. But I have to transport these Bowflex weights a considerable distance in a car:

They are held in place by magnets and must stay in place to work right. Is there some kind of wrap that will go around them and hold them snugly in place? Any other suggestions. I am really trying to avoid disassembling them.
Thanks!

I don't know much about Boflex. Would C clamps work?

If I just start tightly wrapping this stretch wrap around the weights, will it hold them in place? Do I need a blow dryer or anything?

Nope, it's like super saran wrap. No heating needed or desired. Just stretch it as you are wrapping and it will cling to itself. It's what they wrap around pallets stacked with boxes and that stuff won't go anywhere. Just do 3 or four wraps, cut it and tuck the end in. You could wrap each end around the circumference of the weights and leave the handle clear, or wrap from end to end...all depends on what kind of movement you are concerned about.
Unless you are Superman, you can't just grab a twisted length of this stuff and tear it apart...no way. It has to be cut off.

It worked out really well. The weights did not budge. Thanks again.
