RE: Covering Tension
Good grief, Ken! I have little to add! I can only reiterate the fact that it's very important to apply as much tension to the covering as you can and get as many of the wrinkles out as possible, before shrinking the covering. This goes along way to wards alleviating having to remove wrinkles at a later date. Also, I agree, covering is a labor of love, take your time and get it the best you can to start with.
Now, if someone would only explain how to get those really fancy covering jobs done!
Ken?
