Maybe that's what I've been doing wrong. I leave about an inch an a half. I guess I'm not leaving enough covering. I've pulled, and heated quite a bit. I try to preshrink the covering before attaching it but the taper at the leading edge is so severe I'm always left with extra material.

I guess instead of trying to preshrink I should try to stretch the covering around the tip.

I get close, but just can't get it to be tight. I know if I lock MonoKote down, and try to remove the wrinkles there already locked in making it all, but impossible to remove.

I'll practice. I just hate trying to remove MonoKote as it leaves the residual color behind if I want to do a redo.
