Default MonoKote help...

I did the fuse with pretty much no issue. I am starting in on the stabs tonight. I have sealed the bottom hinge line. I am just now starting to cover the bottom of one elevator. I stretched it tight and even. I am still getting some wrinkles, but not bad. MonoKote makes a pretty finished product, but it sucks to work with. I wish now that I had used UltraCote instead. Its too late now, the whole fuse is done. I have put so much heat to it and I am afraid it will melt the dad gum foam inside the elevator! I am trying the iron, I am trying the gun, and I tried th gun with a sock to push it down. The problem there is when I heat it, it makes wrinkles and you wouldnt want to push that down, the wrinkles stick! I can't imagine how painful the wings will be if this is this painful on a small flat surface!!!!! Thanks for any help you can supply.
