RE: How to cover large compound curves
My stand is made from PVC with pipe insulation around it but I end up covering on my lap most the time. This time of year I'm in my summer uniform, just shorts and a tee shirt. When covering I always have burn marks on my legs from running the iron from the parts and across my legs repeatedly. I would make up a cowl and wing tip to practice on. With the Kaos I always covered the bottom first then went from the top and did the sides then tied into the bottom with the top piece. I have mentioned the brand of covering already but with Ultra the covering can be a bit loose and it will shrink very well with a heat gun. I have gotten some very tight covering over turtle decks just by ironing on the sides then shrinking down the top with a gun. I use Ultra for the main covering then Mono for the trim using Windex and my trim iron.
