We attached a sheet of fabric to the opposite side of the elevators, and then shrunk the fabric in 3 stages at 250, 300, and 350 degrees. This is the same procedure we used when covering the horizontal stabilizers. Next step will be to apply doilies and finishing tapes to these pieces.

We also found a tip to pre-shrink fabric that is used to make doilies. We used a lighter weight fabric for this (per recommendations), and simply attached it to a wood frame with staples. We then shrunk it over the frame with irons. This pre-shrunk fabric is now available to us for making protective doilies. Hours: 3
