Default RE: Monokote....Never Again

I think it fair to recognize that not all of us that share their experiences with MK are somehow not being honest about it.
I guess I don't understand what you are saying. Are you saying my experience that I wrote about is not the truth? If you read it you saw I stated I did have trouble with the first plane I had covered after a 10 year layoff. Thts why I made a real effort to make sure I did everything on my end to be sure I was not the problem. I just reported my experience the way it happened.

After I posted my other response last nightI took my plane down from the ceiling in my garage just to see if I could find any wrinkles or bubbles. Nope, it's just as tight as it was when I hung it up a couple of weeks ago. It's smooth and wrinkle free. The first plane I mentioned would get wrinkles hanging on the ceiling. It was covered in white, orange and lemon yellow. The orange was what always wrinkled. So there is an honest report on MK that I was not all that happy with.

MaybeMK has changed. If it has I will just try to adapt to the way it works now. And I have used Ultracoat, Black Baron and 21st Century fabric. The fabric was just super by the way. I have used the Econokotes and TowerKote. Each one had its own special needs to get a good covering job.

One thing I have noticed is that when I first stated using MK in about 1979 you had to be careful and not let the glue sides touch or they would stick together. Sometimes it stuck to itself so well you had to scrap it. That doesn't seem to be true anymore. Maybe TF had complaints about this and thats why they adjusted the formula. Whoknows?
