Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can find some clear covering and seal them this week, does it mater if I use monocote over ultracote or visa versa? I ahve also heard of peopel using clear packing tape, does that work ok too?
Thin clear mylar that I got from Model Research Labs is excellent for this task. Requires low heat, lower than MK or UK so you are never in danger of screwing up the finish, especially if its paint. After creasing lengthwise, I use a thin strip of metal straightedge inserted in the hinge line to hold it while heating it in place.
I don't like using adhesive backed clear tape to seal hinge lines. These will tend to stick and often fail prematurely. I have done it tho....I also sprinkled baby powder in the hinge line to keep stickiness down
