We suggest covering the iron’s shoe with a thin cotton cloth, such
as an old T-shirt, to prevent scratching the film. The iron should be
set to about 220
O F - 250 O F (104 O C - 121 O C). Use the heated
iron to lightly shrink the material - do not press on it. Then, lightly
iron the material back down to the wood. You can also use a
hobby-type heat gun to re-shrink the covering but you must be
careful around seams or color joints.
Re-heating seams may
cause them to “creep”, making them unsightly.
For part number reference, your FOUR-STAR 60 ARF was
covered in AeroKote
™ film with the following part numbers:
#SIGSTL311 Bright Red or #SIGSTL330 Bright Yellow.
