It is my least favourite part but it is very satisfying when you do it right.

Re: Nitro Stick
I did a 3/4 cover back in the 90s Funny thing about that plane... I got it used and it needed skinned. To balance the wing, the builder used an 049 wrench as weight.
Re: Nitro Stick
I just did a complete plane with the new Hangar 9 ultracoat parklite. very forgiving stuff.
FWIW, the tools I use.

Shoe has the right curve to it to fit smallish areas and round corners nicely.

needed item,,don't skimp there. The "water boils" trick works good, but it only gets you in the ballpark.

That length cord is a monster at 9', I chopped mine down to about 4'

proper fit cover sock,,pick up several cause they get dirty
I bought and returned several iron's that either didn't recover heat accurately or didnt hold there heat range properly. The Black Baron won out, out of all the rest.
