I have found as long as the monokote gets attached VERY tight to start with, it will shrink well. If I allow an area to be loose, it will take to much heat to shrink it with the gun, and it will create ripples that will never pull out, and I can never get it to fully shrink. It is as if you have to overheat it to shrink it, and it will be ruined.

I still think the look is better than Ultracote in the end, but it has become hard to work with. Much harder than it used to be.

I posted an example of what happens when you have to get the monokote too hot in order to shrink it.

I decided to leave it and move forward as you can see the fuse is just about done, and my daughter is excited to see it done and fly her airplane.
