Like Numbskull said, move from one end of the shrink wrap to the other rotating the blank as you go. Go slow and make sure one section is tight before you continue down the blank. You ll have to watch heating the blank too much or you could do some damage. Did it a couple of times over cork tape and a number of times over the blank. If you go the latter route, I put a layer of wall tape down first and then a little epoxy on the tape to hold the shrink wrap tight. The 50% shrink that is often advertized is a little optimistic. More like 40%.
