Hi steve,

A friend of mine recently covered a model with "Monokote" and I have heard how the recent stuff has changed. I too tried a sample of the new stuff and it actually reminded me of the Original Monokote in that it had very limited ability to shrink. Top Flite then came out with SuperMonokote and it behaved like the good stuff we all seem to remember. I think somebody at TopFlite had a mental melt down and ordered a huge batch of the original recipe and now we are all stuck with their screw up. I believe this is why Topfright/Great Pains can legally say they haven't changed Monokote. If you look at the current ads they no longer say "SuperMonokote" , just "Monokote".

I just wish they would own up to their mistake and get "SuperMonokote" back into production.

Only time will tell.
