ORIGINAL: Hughes500E

Looks great but Ultrakote on Ultrakote works the best compared to Monokote on Monokote. Monokote's glue property's result in the release of gases that create many air bubbles in the covering. Ultrakote goes on very well
I ran out of Ultra when covering mine. I have one wing panel covered in Mono now. The Mono panel warps and wrinkles in the back of the warm truck Grrrr but it sure is a lot shinier
Hughes500E: This is just the problem I get with Ultracote on Ultracote, i.e., lots of air bubbles. It sort of works over a solid surface, but over an open area such as the wing between spars, I get a lot of bubbles. What is the trick to do this properly?

Alos, I've finished covering the fuse and I have a question: What's the best way of opening up the hole for the wing joiner tube? For smaller holes I just the solder iron trick, but is this the best way for such a big hole?

Thanks,
