Default RE: Best Covering

Overlapping the clear and color with monokote is easy, apply the clear to the airplane then the colors over the clears with a 1/4" over lap, run the iron around the edges and then aesily go over the overlap seam. Then whe you go to shrink it tight be carefull to not heat up the seam while shrinking around it. For me Monokote is much easier to do and the seams show up much less. My 2 cents and all the raving in the world from those whoe think Ultrakote is better isn't going to change my mind and I'll put my covering job up against theirs any day...

Off topic but a glider I did yesterday...
