Removing Monokote and that sticky "Trim Sheet" stuff
What is the best way to remove monokote covering? I have a foam wing covered with balsa sheeting. Most of the monokote has come off OK, but there are several spots where it is stuck like glue to the balsa. Also, there is some areas where it looks like the trim sheet stuff was stuck right to the balsa wood. Any assistance is appreciated! [sm=confused.gif]

Heat should loosen the glue up. Otherwise, sanding will flush it down to the balsa sheeting. Is it going to be recovered with monokote?

Thanks for the tips!
Yes, I do plan on covering it with Monokote again. I've already got the stuff, I just need a little practice before moving on to another model. Thanks again.
