Default Wrinkles

I have been flying a Sig Cap231ex for the past year and a half. When I first finished it I dutifully used my Iron and heat gun to remove any wrinkles. Now I find I have to re-Iron every time I go to the field, and even then, an hour in the sun and "prunesville"!
I have used the old "Ultracote" on models I have built and not had near this problem. I am about to strip the covering and recover with Century 21 fabric. Any one else having this problem?

Default saggy covering

This is why I will never use iron-on covering again!! No sir, from
here on, it's sheet 'em and 'glass 'em!! Then you can do all those
fancy paint schemes you've always wanted!?!
