Leave an inch or inch and a half to get a hold of and pull it well and it will stretch when you put the heat to it with the iron. Pull and iron it down, move over a bit and repeat. Hope this helps.

RE: monokote
I was taught to iron away from the center, then just wrap around, always going towards the edge. I use my heat gun to shrink open areas and clear up wrinkles. Burn it through a lot with the heat gun also though, be careful.

RE: monokote
When covering compound curve, use you iron and heat at and ahead of the area making contact with the surface to be covered. Actually pull and stretch the material while going over the surface with the area just ahead of the contact points being hottest. As you pull and stretch the material it will conform to the compound curved surface and stay there.
