Default RE: Sig Koverall question

The reason for wetting silk or silkspan before application is to promote shrinkage. Koverall is a polyester fabric so it is not as susceptible to shrinkage due to being wet but it is highly susceptible to heat. This means that you can attach the covering to the framework with whatever method you choose then hit it with a heatgun to shrink it. After that, you can seal the fabric using whatever you wish.
