When covering a regular shaped surface try to cut your material to size before you apply it. Yes it takes some time to get it cut to size. But the end result is very rewarding.

Leave some over hang of approximately 3/16 to 3/8 inch. I tack the piece into position with scotch tape. Then I use the iron to attach the piece. Apply to the middle and work out to the sides.

This technique has helped me do a pretty good covering job.

The other thing that needs to be said is that any imperfections on the surface to be covered will glaringly show through the covering.

Covering is a science not an art. You have to believe this and work out the techniques that make you a great builder.
