Default Econokote vs. Monokote

I read that Econokote is a low-heat covering designed for foam wings or balsa planked foam wings. My question is: can it also be used as a normal covering; I inadvertently got one roll of black econokote and one roll of black monokote. Can I mix them? Thanks. Jack

Dump it,

Econokote doesn't last for long, fuel will eventually eat and loosen
the adhesive and it will peel off and fuel will soak your wood.

As Lennyk says dump it. Use Monocoat or ultra coat, but because I live in the hot area I have started to using coverite fab because I dont like having to shrink the cover all the time the keep it tight to keep the wrinkles out
