RE: First Time Covering
John... your doing a fantastic job so far! Keep up the good work. Make sure you keep the tension on the Mono... it will keep it from loosening up. Plus with Mono you will want to apply the heat and back off from it and wait... and watch to see if the wrinkles disappear.
With Ultra, I can apply the heat and in most cases it will tighten while I have the Iron on it. Basically Mono is a little tricky, but once you learn to work with it you'll love working with Mono.
If you decide to add any designs or striping, use Ultra on the Mono. You can't use Mono on Ultra because of the difference of the heat sensitivity of the Ultra. Meaning you can apply Ultra stripes with the Iron and it won't effect the Mono... and less chance of playing "Chase the Wrinkle" game. [:@]
Your first covering job looks better than some who have been doing it for a while that I fly with at my club. Matter in fact it looks better than my first airplane. [&o] Take your time.
