Default RE: Ultracote, monokote or other?

^ what Steve said. This is an old debate so if you do a search you will find hundreds of pages about Mono VS Ultra. I used Mono for years but about 15 years ago Mono changed the formulation and sometimes it will shrink and sometimes not at all. I changed over to Ultra and if I have a choice I never use Mono. I do keep Mono on hand for trim. I like using Windex with ammonia to put the trim on. Ammonia activates the adhesive on Mono but doesn't do it on Ultra. Ultra is a bunch easier to work with. There aren't as many colors to choose from but Ultra works very well almost every time. Only color I have ever had a problem with is there aluminum once. The Tex cloth coverings are perhaps the best covering I have ever worked with and will look great on a 4*.
