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 doesnt 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 havent been this bad in a long time.
Well Steve, do you get the drift?? Next time you have a problem with a product and want to post it on RCU try doing a search first. This is a very old debate and one that comes up every couple of months. Making it a sticky is one of the best ideas I have seen posted, very good thinking. None of the posts ever change except more and more of the regulars have gotten sick of seeing it. I usually see it and don't bother opening it knowing it will be the same old same old! Now you know!!
