covering question
 

hi guys,Im covering a 35% edge 540,and I have a Question about a very difficult part that has always caused me grief! Around the vertical stab where it joins wth the turtle deck.Im useing ultracoat,My question is what is the best way to get a smooth seam there? thanks for any help!!

RE: covering question
 

One way is to cut a strip about 3/8 or 1/2 inch wide, then crease it between your fingers so that you can iron the crease into the joint between the fin and the deck (you may need to make several cuts perpendicular to the crease, but preserving a thin band). This creates a base for the next step. Then cut the deck covering piece as closely as you can to fit neatly around the fin and iron the edge into the corner. Done well, the seam will not be noticeable. A trim iron is useful, to say the least. Good luck, Dzl

That's how I do it too.

Here are a couple of pictures showing how I do it. I think this is what Dzlstunter and MinnFlyer are talking about.

That is also how I do it. It makes all the difference in the quality of the covering job.
