The ribs are polyethylene (XLPE) with a minimum melt temp of 220 F. I would like to use polyester or other conventional aircraft fabric.
This is my first wing build. Looking for a low heat method to shrink and fit?

Have you heard of Oratex?
Use a clothing iron to shrink the fabric on the outside. Shouldn't heat the ribs much. Do a test.
