Default RE: covering the holes

dont heat it quite so much as to do that, and you can put a little pin hole in the covering on the bottom with a straight pin

I am watching you

Hi,

Try poking a pin hole horizontally through the stab fron the training edge of the stab into the lightning holes. That will give the air a way out both during covering, as well as when the air heats up in the direct sun light.
