In order to benefit from the tensile strength of Monokote you need to shrink it tight on the structure. I have yet to see a delicate stringer model structure that can withstand this without crumbling into bits.
That’s why the lighter and thinner options are now available, but the original topic referred to ‘Monokote’.
I just don’t want the unknowing to ruin a model they built.
In order to benefit from the strength of Monokote, or any shrinkable plastic covering now that you have brought the availability of other lighter and thinner covering systems into it, one only needs to actually iron to the structure, shrinking is a secondary operation that may or may not be needed depending on your skill level of application in the first place. The title still is Monokote Versus Tissue, your response was tissue is stronger than Monokote anyway. That is wrong no matter how you try to spin it, it’s far weaker in both puncture or tensile strengths.
