This silver was easy to work with. Of coarse, ailerons like these aren’t typically something to give you a hard time in the covering department. No problems with the ooze you mentioned with your yellow.
When I first started trying out the Hobby King covering, I had to learn to use lower temperatures compared to what I use on Monokote. Once I learned that – I have been all right...
The silver that I have is the “WG044-00406/6738 Covering Film Bright Silver (5mtr) 406”
This stuff is pretty cool in that it has a grain to the color. Much like brushed aluminum or stainless. The bummer with that is --- you have to keep the material orientated.
Here is a picture of just the material so that maybe you can see the grain.
