doin 2 rocker covers i found that if u spray too much it tends to get abit too wrinkly + it could be either ur heating it too quickly or the pattern u sprayed it. top stuff mate it came out heaps good

expand on this 'stud pattern' theory... i dont no wat u mean

wen spraying it, there are actual suggested directions u should spray . eg first spray horizontally, then vertically, diagonally and the opposite etc. each layer repeats until ur satisfied. then let it dry for 48hours. for me i assumed that because i sprayed abit too much and dried it abit too quick with a blow dry, it actually gave me abit too much wrinkle then i acutally wanted. hope this helps explain.
