Hello expertens,

Yesterday I decieded to recover the GP Spad because it has so many wrinkles that make even the show wining Sharpei cringes. Anyway I used UltraCote as the material and everytime I used the HG, the edges pulls back and you guess it, it wrinkles even more. So I did it again and tucked the edges in more with more overlap. Still the heat from the HG still peels the edges away and but luckily, not to the point I have to recover. I think the best way now is NOT using the HG but use the iron instead because the latter allows you to apply heat where needed rather than blasting with heat that eventually will unseat the seems. A search on RCU indicates some felt HG should not be even used when covering. I think the HG makes things more complicated than needs be but can you get the same results WITHOUT the use of the HG? I would love to shrink with the HG but with weak adhesive layer of UC, HG just does not seem to work well in this case. Comments appreciated. DP
