Thank you all for the advice. I will try these techniques and I think I will use monokote. Does everyone agree that you shouldn't shrink covering on sheeted surfaces? I have a four star forty that has solid vertical and horizontal tails and the covering wrinkles on these surfaces also. I also use coverite balsarite, could this contribute?
On solid surfaces I tack down the perimeter after pulling the material taut and as wrinkle free as I can. Then I do a minimum shrink with a heat gun followed by ironing it down.
I have never found a need for balsarite as yet but if your wood has become contaminated with fuel or such it would help, I believe.
I ask a second time, have you seen MinnFlyers videos on installing covering? Very helpful to a beginner. Can provide links if needed.
