A quick pic of the only use I have for monocote today ( can also use mylar, or glass table,ect...waxed of course ).

Making sheets of composite. In this case, I need a flexible smooth surface sheet for the scale intake at the boundary layer.

The material is "e" glass crow foot weave around 3.5oz x 2 . It yields a perfect pin hole free finish. I used epoxy since I ran out of the polyester resin catalyst.

Peels clean from monocote. Surface will be as shinny as monocote

Cheap and very easy.
