<span style="font-family: Verdana"><span style="font-size: medium">Well today was my first experience to covering. Everything came out well until these part to get too and the flatest part of the belly of the plane. It is where thefront edge of the wing fits in belly of the plane. For some reason it wanted to wrinkled. Ipoked holes in the wrinkles and some wrinkles did flatten out. Iknow why you need one of those gloves.

any advice?</span></span>

If you've hit it with the heat and it didn't shrink out all you can really do is either iron it down and live with the wrinkles or recover it. The idea is to pull the covering as tight as you can across the airframe, especially at the edges, and then use the shrinking to get it the last 5% perfect. If you haven't put the heat to it then make sure the seam is ironed down well and see if it will shrink out.

I pic would help, are you talking about the inside corner joint where the leading egde wing root meets the fusealage, is this correct? If so, this is a trick to finish out well. What I was taught to do was first use a small "patch" strip of monokote and cover the corner joint about 3/8" on each side of the joint, you will have to make small slits along the edges on the fusalage side of the "patch" to allow it to conform to the shape of the wing root. After the patch is applied and smoothed out as much as possible, then bring the wing covering up to the corner and trim for a tight fit, but don't try to turn up onto the fusalage. Same way with the fusalage covering, bring it right up to the corner and trim it to fit against the wing and lay down over the patch, but don't try to run onto the wing itself. Hope this helps.

It would be better to removet his area but I was thinking about applying another color there. The crazy thing it was the easiest place to iron or shrink! it is at the opening on the belly of the plane where the servos are located.. </p>

I did pull as tight as I could. This was the very first time I repaired a plane. I had to put twcokcs on my hand in order to pull.  I never could get my iron up to 325degrees. It hovered around 277-283. I was using a laser thermometer.
