Default RE: Venus II

Hey Bill! The Venus recover is coming along slowly but steady. This is only my second full recover and I am impressed with how well it is coming out. I have used Monokote in the past for numerous repair jobs but this kote I currently have seems different. It seems more rubbery to me versus hard and brittle. I don't know how to describe it. I am attaching the perimeter the stander ed way, then turning the heat up sealing the edges well. Then I mowing the entire surface with the heat gun instead of heat shrinking and pressing the covering into the wood grain. Its resulting in a beautiful paint like surface.
Does anyone know whether the covering will be more likely to bubble using this method versus pushing the covering into the wood. I sure hope it looks great.
