RE: HEAT GUN - DO OR DIE?
To Stop this from happening use some balsa-rite on the wood edges before covering. The balsa-rite works awesome and goes a long way. You will never have another pulled edge. Also another thing that helps is to cover both sides of your piece and then shrink. I use a small drill to poke a hole in one end or the other to let the air escape so you don't get any "poofing"
