RE: Balsarite ?
Joe, any of the coverings with TEX in them is also another choice for a fabric. Solartex is one of them. It irons on and is very easy to work with.
Another good trick for putting on plastic covering is just spraying the frame work with hair spray. There really is no reason for putting anything on the frame with iron on covering though if you remove the dust first.
I do the same thing as Mike mentioned, just spray with a compressor and wipe with a tack rag
