Default Need help from the covering pro's

Hey Bear750: I covered a Gee Bee profile for a friend. What I did was cut a piece of covering about 1" wide and about 2" longer than the cord of the wing. I then folded it in half length wise. Then on one side of the fold only, I cut slits to within about 1/16 of an inch of the fold, about every 1 1/2"s. I laid the solid half of the fold on the wing, and the part with the slits against the fuse, turned up my iron about 50 degrees, to help the covering form at the 1/16" that was left on the fuse side of the fold. Then just covered the rest as usual. It turned out great. Always happy to help if I can. Garry
