Im in the process of recovering a Funtana. Being that Im somewhat of a perfectionist, Im stuck on how to cover the outer edges of the horizontal stab. Do I cover the top and fold over, or do I cover the edge first by heating/stretching the covering over the ends/curves first, then cover the tops and bottoms? To be clear, im speaking of the part on the stab which sits in front of the elevator's counter balance ( think thats what its called)

Any help would be appreciated.
