Hi Dennis,
Thanks man for that information.....But what you are telling me is IF I get the iron too hot it will pucker and not work right??Right?
This is a large ARF and the covering was already applied for me.
Now I have recovered a old wing with Monocoat and I did pull it tight and had less problems and the wing looks good...I am about ready to do the same with this new wing.

Jim, Sorry for the confusion.
What i meant is that eventually all film coverings get loose in some places and if you have shall we say used up all of the elasticity of the material by overheating it on initial application, it may not do as well as you expect when you try to shrink it down and reattach it to the framework.
If you get that material on as tight as you can before you do your initial shrinking you will probably never have a serious problem. Remember to get the material attached firmly to every part of the structure that you can. Firmly attached film is less likely to pucker then film that is just blow dried tight and left loose over the structure.
