Any wrinkles that appear in the covering are easy to remove by
using a hobby-type of heat iron. We suggest covering the iron's
shoe with a thin cotton cloth, such as an old T-shirt to prevent
scratching the film. To shrink this covering, set the temperature of
your covering iron to 220
O
F - 250
O
F (104
O
C - 121
O
C). Start by
using the heated iron to go over all the seams and color joints,
making sure they are firmly sealed and well adhered. Then, use
the heated iron to lightly shrink the material - do not press on it.
Once the covering is tight, lightly iron the covering back down to
the wood. You can use a hobby type heat gun to re-shrink the
covering, but you must be very careful to avoid heating the seams.
Your Kadet Seniorita EP ARF has been covered with a transparent
red and a black covering material.
