9-Covering the Wing Top - Building HZ Super Cub from Scratch

[tydek07]

Wouldn't a heat gun work better? Could heat it up and use your hands (or anything flat) to push the material down and work the wrinkles out.

what temp do you need the iron at

[NeCubFlyer]

There is no actual set temp.  Start at the lowest temp and work your way up. You'll need to experiment to find what works best for you.
