Hobby King Covering Pro's and Con's
Pro
Low cost
Looks good, nice shine, not quite as shinny as Monokote
Shrinks good, like Ultrakote.
Sticks well, I did treat the balsa with hair spray during final sand.
Con
No frill packaging, no instructions
The colors have white backing that makes a white line where shrunk excessively. My experience here is with light blue and neon green only. Other colors may not have the white backing
Very difficult to get backing off the light blue covering. Once you did the backing continued to follow me around the shop. Very high static charge. The white backing released very easy, neon green took a little more work and the light blue was just plain crazy.
Time in the sun will be the final judge, I don't this will happen before May however.
