I'm very impressed with it and will now be using it exclusively from now on. Like Ultra the white glue that will squish out if too hot or too much pressure is used is removed with a rag and acetone.
This is the first time I have used the Ultra clear tinted covering and was also impressed with it too. Went down easy and shrunk well.

The chinacote I used has white backing instead of color that matches the covering. So, I also learned to rub off the white exposed edges with acetone or Topflite Monocote adhesive/dissolver. I also used transparent yellow chinacote and it was very good too.
