Step 6.
Measure 3/8" for the folded crease out. Make several
marks along the length of the folded covering.
Step 7.
With the piece of covering still folded, use a hobby
knife and a straight edge, carefully cut the entire length of the
covering at the marks you made in the previous step.
Step 8.
Remove the backing from the covering. Place the folded
crease into the center of the hinge line on the bottom of the
horizontal stabilizer. Using a straight edge, hold one side of the
covering in place while ironing down the opposite side with a
sealing iron.
Step 9.
Fully deflect the elevator in the up position. Place the
straight edge over the hinge line covering what you just ironed
down. With the straight edge placed firmly at the bottom of
the hinge line, iron down the covering while making sure the
elevator is fully deflected.
