Default Monocote - Temp for Apply and Shrink

I have two questions regarding Monocote covering I was hoping someone might be able to answer. 1) What is the best temperature for an iron is to seal down seams, etc.? 2) What is the best temperature to shrink Monocote?

Thanks in advance.

This is Top Flight's website. It has the directions for using Monkote on it, and the temperatures are posted there.

Hope this helps

Well Bruce thanks, I have been putting that pic all around just trying to get a friendly reply so now I am happy and will quit posting it, I did by the way recover some of it before the fatal crash Saturday.
