I believe the key word here is practice and I do appreciate the input.  I'm going to build up some small structures and use scrap material to figure it out.  I did seal it up all the way around the outside before shrinking it.  Maybe that was part of the problem.  So, I need to try it your way.</p>

Do you still press and work with the sock when covering a somewhat thin framework structure such as this rudder?  My concern with was pressing to hard in the middle and having the adhesive side of the covering sticking to one another.</p>

I just went to the workbench and tried the heat gun.  I had been using the iron only.  Unfortunately it didn't work.  I believe this material has shrunk all that it is capable of.  It's to the point of removing it and trying again.</p>

Thanks,</p>
