I find that it is too much pre-stretched I carefully remove some of the stretch with a
heat gun and a frame to hold it. You'd need to experiment some. It has to have a
little stretch left to shrink.

Are you referring to MonoKote (<http://>www.monokote.com
<http://www.monokote.com/>)? That looks perfect for repairing the gouged bed of one
of my 9872C plotters. Is a hot air supply suitable for applying the film, or did you use
their heating iron? I'm guessing a bit of pressure to adhere the film is necessary?
