If it is like everything else, companies cut back to almost nothing as far as quality now so we are certainly to get less adhesive because adhesives cost the supplier and they will cut corners at every turn. Not long ago a fellow flyer had maidened a plane with MK and the stuff just started rolling off the airframe and yet it looked so well done. Once he investigated none of the glue was holding to anything.
Happy covering [8D]
The adhesive and color is one blend on Monokote bonded to the mylar film. If the Monokote rolled off the airframe without taking wood with it or leaving color on the wood, it was not properly applied. If applied by the owner he did it wrong. If applied on a factory built ARF, a worker did it wrong and the supplier should replace the airframe.
