Status: offline 		It may not be obvious from the previous posts, but the trick is to do the Monokote before you fuelproof the firewall.

Status: offline 		WE use thinned epoxy to fuel proof firewall, then sand down fine and apply monokote over entire firewall. Dril holes for mount, control rod, & fuel line, then add minimal amount of epoxy into/around drilled holes.

Works great.

Status: offline 		I have always used Balsirite and MonoKoted the entire engine compartment, I may have to go to something else now that I can't get Balsarite.
