: I've got my Sea Tour 15-R to the point of lacing the bottom cover.
: There lots of wrinkles along the gunwales - it this normal? I've
: tried tight laces, loose laces, I can't seem to get rid of them.

I've not tried this, but according to Tom if you use a heat gun you can stretch the fabric a little to make it fit tighter.
I'd be careful of heating it too much, the cover will melt at some point.
