The reason for crinkling film is to remove the static electricity from it. A secondary reason in my experience it makes the film more flexible so that it conforms to the model structure easier. Another reason that I think Chris G. pointed out earlier is that a lot of film comes off the roll with lines. Crinkling the film makes these lines less noticeable where otherwise you might be tempted to throw away that piece of film.

  thanks for answers so far...

  Bill, when I say Iron i mean the hot iron for cloth.
  Didnt mention that I place the film between 2 papers
  and the iron isnt very hot.

  Complete secuence is:
  make a ball & extend
  make a ball & extend
  place film over a smooth paper
  use a soft brush to extend as much I can
  place a paper over film and iron it.

  Final texture is like skin. So far no problems.

  But... why to bother on all this?
  If I dont get it wrong, Air flux will always
  be laminar for the RN of a ministick or a F1L.

  Ignacio.
