Default Chrome Monokote

G`Day
Can anyone give me any tips on covering with Monokote Chrome, am in the process of covering the fuselage and wing of my p-51 Mustang 60 size. Have covered part of my plane already including the Elevator and Fin but am now starting on the larger areas. All are covered in balsa and coated with 3/4 oz glass.
Do I cover across the wing in sections or do I cover along the wing in sections, also the same for the fuselage???Also what heat should the iron be ?? Cannot use heat gun on large surfaces itself as this seems to create bubbles which don`t seem to shrink back out when cooling (seems this Monocote Chrome does not lend itself to streaching and contrating!!!) when used with the iron either!!
Quite difficult to use!!!!!*sh###***!!!!
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!!!!
