I finished covering the rudder today as I attempted to shrink the fabric to 350 degrees, I burnt a hole right through it. Why? There was some glue on the bottom of the iron and that is what burnt the hole. Make sure your iron is clean!
Here's the finished rudder
Here's the nice hole burnt through the fabric.
Ripping the fabric off. Note that this hole is easily fixable with a patch. I chose to recover the rudder instead of patching it only for cosmetic reasons.
