Default Ultracote seams

Hi,

I get beautiful finishes with Ultracote but find on my glow planes, it's coming unstuck at the seams in certain spots. Obviously, I ironed the seams down on high heat but they just aren't staying put. This is generally only occurring in the general vicinity of the exhaust.

Monokote: used to be amazing but now doesn't shrink but it NEVER came undone at the seams

Ultracote: shrinks great, eats razor blades, comes undone at the seams

Frustrating because the oil damages the wood and no mater how much corn starch or balsarite you put on it, it never really covers right after getting fuel soaked.

Any ideas??

Mike
