Hey Gator,
I tried this method a couple weeks ago on my Burrito. Most of the areas went great but just behind where the sheeting stops there was still noticable covering sag between ribs. My graphic was on both sides of one rib. I could get one side to lay down or the other but not both. I tried to carefully heat the wrinkling area to try to shrink it down so it would lay down but it really made it worse. What is the trick to correct this? I'm sure you've ran into this before after seeing many of your pieces of art.
Thanks,,,basmntdweller

Sometimews if the graphis is on both sides of the rib, and you get a wrinkle, I try to squeegy the wrinkle to where its ontop of a cap strip, then i take my knife and I filet that wrinkle and try to let the wrinkle overlap onto its self, I had to do this alot on the flag scheme around all the stars....hope this helps, I was pretty lucky on this sledge coverjob, didnt have any wrinkle with the flame layeing over hatch opeings and open wing bays
