Hi, guys.... pardon the intrusion .... I've done a few Great Planes ARF's lately, that have been "Covered in Genuine Monokote". Some were not as bubble-free as I would like. As I started touching up these, I realized I was nudging the iron temp higher and higher....Finally, on my "calibrated" iron, the setting that REALLY ironed it down, and to itself, was quite a bit higher than I was used to. Can't tell you what that was, but also the "standard" Monokote heat gun has to be held within 1/4" of the surface and moved pretty slowly to get it to truly "shrink" over open-bays.

I'm only sharing this as it seemed odd to me, but the higher temp settings seems to have worked out.....
