Solartex is very easy to use. Clean the surfaces to be covered. I then spray mine with hair spray. The cheap kind. Let it dry and then spray a second coat. It seals the pores and seems to make all coverings I've used stick better. Solartex does not require as much heat as MonoCote. It irons down very well. I set my iron at about 225 to 240.

I use the heat gun to pull arond curved edges and it works great. No wrinkles. Remember, after covering you can use the heat gun to take out any remaining wrinkles. Just be careful and keep the heat gun moving. Solartex will shrink a lot and could damage the structure. What I'm saying is, it don't take much heat to shrink it. Keep the gun moving and a little higher off the surface than you would with UltraCote or MonoCote.

I do the top of one wing and then the bottom side of that same side to eliminae warpage and so forth. When cutting off extra material, use a new blade. Sometimes you will get a little fuss or strings when cutting off, but just iron them down. Then I use clear fingernail polish on the seams. If you are going to pait you probably won't want to do that.

I love Solartex. It is the easiest material to work with. Just be careful with the heat. Don't leave the iron or gun in one spot too long.
