I need to cover the surface of a 'teardrop'  shape (like a squashed tube with a sharp edge). Will the sleeve form well around the sharp edge or is it better to use sheets ? size is approx 300 m long by 100 m wide (and 300 mm long).

That's huge! Hard edges are always tough to get super tight. It's always worked out better for us when you "soften" the edge of anything in order for a rigid material, like carbon, to be able to conform.
