Default fabric covering question

i have found a new material to try to cover with,it is called ICAREX,but people in the fabric stores know it as RIP-STOP,any way,the stuff is nylon based,and it is the same material they make kites out of only lighter and thinner,and it is extremely tough,anyway,i need to know from some more experienced builders how would i go about applying this fabric? i have never put on fabric,just film,so what would you use to stick it? i already know that it shrinks great with the heatgun,any help would be great. thanks

I'd try some Balsarite on some scrap and try it there. Sig also has a product called Stixit I believe that does basically the same thing.
