Default RE: First Covering job pics!

Not bad at all, especially for a 1st covering job.

Couple of things:

1. Take care of the gap in the rudder. If the hinges are already glued, you will need to relocate them. DO NOT USE THE SAME SLOTS AGAIN, the CA in the slots will prevent the new hinges from getting a good bond.

2. The judicious use of a heat gun will remove the wrinkles. Be VERY CAREFUL around seams as they will pull/lift and watch the temperature. If you are not careful with the temp you can burn/blow a hole in the covering. For those areas near seams (within 1/2" - 3/4" ) I would use the iron instead, just jack the temperature up a bit.
