Shrinking Around Tight Radius Corners

[comander]

#6672

I have attempted several times to get the Superflight fabric to shrink around the approx. 2.5″ – 3″ radius corners of my rudder, but am always left with major wrinkles. I use the approach shown in the Stewart videos, which are clearly a larger radii and with ceconite fabric, which seems to shrink more for the same iron temp. I start the iron at about 225-250, and have tried ramping it up to 300-325 eventually, but still can’t get enough shrinkage. Any thoughts on what I should try next? Thanks
