I think it will be OK ; )

I agree with you and understand completely. Monokote was my all time favorite covering and I still have several Monokote covered planes that are well over 20 years old that look like the day they were built. Some have hundreds of flights. It was a sad day when the original Monokote went away. What was produced in the last few years of production was not even similar to the older '70's to early 2000's product. I've covered many planes with Ultracote and it is not even close to the quality of Monokote. I have attached a photo of a friend and his opinion of Ultracote. I agree!!
