Default koverall process

I am about to attempt covering a dynaflite decathlon with coverall using polycrylic for the first time. I have used koverall in the past using sig dopes. After many searches, the process seems to be:
1.seal the wood with two coats nitrate dope and sand
2.apply koverall with dope around perimeter
3.second coat around perimeter
4. Shrink koverall with iron
5.apply 2 coats polycrylic , sand
6.2-3 more coats poly, sand between coats
7.spray high build auto primer, sand
8. Spray with krylon
9. Fuel proof it (I'm using glo)

I did a test with the above process and I have 2 questions:
The covering didn't get all that tight, did I not shrink it enough? My iron was on high and I spent a fair amount of time on it.
Can I use nelson to fuel proof or lustercoat.

Thanks!
