Default RE: Monokote....Never Again


ORIGINAL: stevenmax50

I used the Top Flight Monokote yesterday for the first time in many years. I have been either fiberglassing or using Ultracoat. I do not usually brand bash because I believe that a product might just be fine for someone other than me. So to each his own.
But the Monokote I used (new from the hobby shop) was horrible. It had no stretch to it at all. And it just doesn't shrink anywhere near as much as Ultracoat will.
I used it to cover the fuse and tail feathers on a Stinger 60. I just cannot believe how many wrinkles there are. It looks like a total beginner job. I am no expert at covering but jeez. I haven't been this bad in a long time.
Steve, is this the first you have heard of the mono problem?? It started about 12 or 15 years ago. The Mono Ultra debate comes up every month or two here on RCU if you just do a search you can read hundreds of pages worth of it. No reason for anyone to start it again here. You either love it or hate it, use it or don't, it is what it is and it isn't going to change. Let's just see if this thread can die peacefully here and now!
