Mike B, It seems to me with the indoor FF, that the Microfilm is pulled off of the water or what ever liquid is used, with a big loop and then the microfilm is placed on the model. Dipping the wing in water with these fragile models would induce warping like you wouldn't believe!

Question, Did the original poster of these questions remove the Monokote from the backing material? Also, did he have the adhesive side to wards the model? I just read through this thread, and I don't recall him being asked these questions.

Learning how to cover is a lesson in patience! I always liked Monokote. It seems to be getting a bad rap now. Possibly they changed the stuff since the last time I bought any. I have some old Monokote, which I used on my latest model a "The HOTS", built from plans and found it to work very similar to the Ultra-Coat the rest of the model is covered in! I never used a heat gun also. until recently and I have to say I sure like it! There is very good information here! Read the instructions and follow their guidlines as far as heat and application and you will do fine.
