Default MonoKote?

I have used MonoKote since the 60s but am having trouble covering a wing that has reflex built into it ( the low part simular to under-camber but on top). I used to have no trouble covering an under-cambered wing using silk and dope but am having difficulty with MonoKote.

What I have tried is attaching the covering to the cap striping in the low part of the reflex and then to the edges but when shrinking it pulls lose. I thought about using Balsa Rite but the cap strips are just simulated (3/32X1/4 balsa over foam) and was leery of the Balsa Right getting on the foam and eating it away.

I'm sure I am not the first to do this I just cant seem to get it right, any help will be appreciated.
