Fabric Shrink Temperature

[G-INII]

Hi all, Just finished covering Pitts aileron using Stewart Systems process, as part of retoration and new fabric on my S1.

Having Shrunk the fabric to 100-130 degrees, it already looks nicely tensioned.

I am am concerned to go towards the recommended 250 - 350 degrees as a final shrink temp in case its too much for the structure.

Any ideas / comments on max temp and correct tension for S1 fabric please ?
