Default Covering

I purchased some of the hobby lobby oracover because I was looking for a covering to use over balsa sheeted foam. The best way I can describe this stuff is FANTASTIC. Applying the oracover is like night and day compared to monokote. The colors do not seem to be as rich as the monokote but it is so much easier to work with. Compound curves are a breeze to cover. So far the covering has held up pretty well..I used it to cover my 35% Giles. It also works exceptionally well in multi color trim schemes as it doesn't bubble like the monokote. You just need to know which temperature to use to activate adhesive versus full shrink. It's amazing to work with, even the most nasty wrinkles disappear. Give it a try you will not be disappointed.
