Default Ultracoat for Foam Wing?

FRIENDS, I'm finishing a ACE Simple series Corsair and want to try Hanger 9 Ultracoat. Has anyone used this covering on a foam wing? Any comments? Thanks and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

i think the activation temp for the adhesive is too high for foam.top flite econokote is a low temp film made for covering foam.

Most of the LITE types will work like ECONOCOATE or Ultra coat lite if they make it.

I've done it. At the temp that would melt the foam, the covering becomes sticky.

Most foam is porous. You can fill it pretty good with lite spackle from the hardware store. It is made by Dap and Borden's.
