To take Bill's point further, if the film could not
be shape changed somehow then there is no way you could
get span length roll of film to fit tightly to the
curves of a glider wing along its full length.

I think that may depend on how much the stuff will shrink.

Is this material anything like the stuff they use for those advertising
wraps on busses?
