Cheesehead,

In a word - YES. I covered several planes with a sealing iron before I got a heat gun. In fact I still have my first sealing iron and it still works (and it's over 30 years old). It just needs a shoe since they didn't have socks for them available back then.

Just take your time. Do a search on RCU for covering with plastic films and you'll find lots of help on what works and what doesn't. It may seem hard at first (and don't get up set if your first covering job doesn't come out perfect) but it gets easier the more you cover.
