Default Ultracote Cold Application

Has anyone heard of applying Ultracote using a "cold application" method? If so, can you describe the process?

Ok, background - just got off the phone with a guy at Aero-works. He told me that the Chinese manufacturing company that builds their ARFs use a "cold application" technique to lay down the covering, both base and trim. Ilike the result - especially where they overlay the base with a sizable trim piece - no bubbles (of course)but what got my attention was that the trim piece looks like it's been "tightened" so that the Ultracote "pre-shrink" marble texture is gone.

TIA

BTW- the guy at Aero-works has competed at Toledo with his personal build projects and has won several awards - so he's got serious building skills. He wasn't able to explain the details either.
