Now for the fun part... ❏ 4. Use a trim seal tool to iron 3/16" [4.8mm] strips
of covering down into the corrugations. Carefully cut the ends of the strips at the ends. Hint: Use a metal file and wet/dry sandpaper to round the tip of your trim seal tool to match the radius of the corrugations.
❏ 5. After all of the corrugations have been covered,
cover the bottom of the stab going right over the corrugations as though they weren’t even there. The bottom can be covered in one piece. After ironing the covering down around the tips, use thin tape as a guide to cut the covering. Peel off the tape and the unneeded covering.
❏ 6. Cover the top of the stab the same way—the
tape trick still works. This will provide an even, straight, nearly invisible seam.
❏ 7. Now to finish the corrugations—use a
straightedge and a sharp hobby knife to slit the covering down the middle of all the corrugations— don’t worry, this really works (you could try it on the bottom first). Use the trim seal tool to iron the covering down into the corrugations over the previously ironed-down strips. Note: Should your covering job ever require a little touch-up to remove any wrinkles that may appear in the future, don’t use a heat gun. This will pull the covering from the corrugations. Always use a covering iron with a covering sock to remove wrinkles.
Now that the stabilizer has been covered, you may
proceed with construction.
