2 door or 4 door??

The 2 door b/g can be a bit challenging. I did the H pattern.....horizontal anchor in the middle. Perfect shrink the first time. thumb.gif (this was a soap shrink/dry)

yah 2 door, 4 doors are a cake walk. so anchor H and it and its not too difficult?

I like to anchor like this:

instead of an H, it seems to give you a little more room to play on the corners.
MidcoastMW
^^^ actually I would anchor it like TD said..... It will be a bit easier for you. If you do the regular H you may have to lift and pull the film and lay it back down...
dan_kohan
k sweet im gonna try that. is that how you always anchor bg TD? it does seam like it would make the corners that much earier to get to lay flat .

middle first, across to the side, up and down, then from middle to the other side and up and down.....

my version of anchoring......double H? pull the top corners and the cobalt is pretty easy. At least it has been using lulu ATR.....

Richardpease did it first try this way.......

can anyone elaborate on this a little for me?

i actually pattern everything like this. I---I---I down each side, and down the middle and then across. its breaks it up in 1/4's and works good for me.
