Default RE: Mono-Kote Questions

That method works really well on wings but not very well on the fuse. Two things that I see all the time. One get the wood as clean as possible. I dust airplanes just prior to covering with an old black T shirt. It usually takes going over it 10-12 times while shaking the dust out of the shirt after each time to stop pulling balsa dust off the wood. With the black shirt, you can see what is actually coming up off the wood. Second, don't use too much heat and while applying, don't count on much shrinkage, pull it as tightly on the surface as you can. Ok that was more then 2 things but you get the idea.
