Regarding my plane showing it's age, yes, the wrinkles sure are showing now! Periodically, you have to go over the profilm with a iron again, otherwise it becomes loose. Because of the shape of the cub, it's very hard to profilm it without wrinkles. When you're profilming it the first time, all the pieces of film are a bit oversized so you can grip onto the edges and pull it really tight and pull out all the wrinkles. Once you've cut off these overhanging bits however you have nothing to grip onto to pull out the wrinkles, so when you heat it up again the film wrinkles up. Unfortunately, I don't think there's much that can be done about it :-( Just a tip to help with pulling out the wrinkles once you cut the overhang is to put clear tape on the edge that is long enough to grip. Pull the tape as you iron the film. Once you get to the tape, remove it... That might help ya out a bit. |
