Default RE: Hobbico Nexstar

According to the tech notes on the Tower website, the Nexstar's covering is "polyester based heat shrink." Some of Hobbico's other ARFs are Monocote and some are "shelve paper." I know people who have both. They say that the Monocote is great for repairs, but the "shelve paper", which will not shrink with heat, is terrible. Has anyone tried to shrink the covering on the Nexstar? To me this is an important consideration, but is not mentioned at all in the RCU review. Thanks in advance for anyone's experience with the Nexstar's covering.
