Removing bubbles from ARF covering
 
How do you remove the bubbles in the covering on an ARF fusalage? Do you use an iron or a heat gun? Should you poke a needle hole in the skin to let the air out? Please be specific.
Thanks

I poke a hole with a needle at one side of the bubble....
then apply a little heat with the tip of the iron, and work
the air out towards the hole with the iron, and my finger.
You can't always get it perfect....but much improved.... :D

To keep the Film from shrinking too much after your done IRONING
Rub a cold damp rag over the surface .
This gives you a really pro look.
Also use some of that Great Planes Monicote polisher.
You will have a really shiny plane.
