Go to the top of the Questions and Answers thread and you will see a sticky of Covering Videos that MinnFlyer and I think RCKen put together. Some of the best videos on the subject.

Are you using monokote or ultracote?

Or a TEX covering??

And if you don't have a heat gun, you can crank up the heat on the sealing iron and still get a nice job. The secret is stretching your covering around the curves, and making sure you have enough extra covering to grab hold of.

There is also a video of covering a rounded wingtip in the covering section of this review:
