Steve,
I didn't see the mention of alphatic in the post I responded to, sanding before using the alphatic is probably a good idea but why not odorless CA?

Tony,
Take the sock off the iron and it'll seal the edges better. I just covered an entire plane and didn't even bother with the socks I have. To retighten the covering later I use a heat gun which comes in handy for many other things like heat shrink tubing and taking sticky back sandpaper off T-sanders.
