Super Coverite was a fabric covering favored by many scale RCers. It was a bit heavy but applied fairly easily with quite permanent results. Apply paint of choice and go fly. Later in it's history, the formula of the adhesive changed and then it would hardly stick to itself where with the early formula, you couldn't pry the seams apart. Shortly after, the product went away.

I have planes in my inventory covered with both vintages of the covering. The early covering still looks quite good where the later product is pretty much just falling off hanging in the garage. I have no idea how the newer product that BAX referenced works.

These days I use Solartex.
