thanks Huck,

that was a good place to start. I myself am covering my first model and to be honest it did not come out as well as I would like. Any other tips. Like things to watch out for if your are using Ultracote vs Monocote vs Coverite?

I know i had a devil of a time just getting a straight cut when trimming my excess. The blade kept wanting to grab the material and tear. As a result i got a jagged line and not a smooth cut. I am thinking the blade dulls faster than I was expecting. Any tips on trimming edges? I kept grabbing balsa and taking chunks out too.

I'd like to get more proficient with covering so when I build my Something Extra it looks professional and not ..... like I did it
