Default RE: Covering Tension

As Mike said, those things are in the works.

But in case you can't wait. There are two ways to do what you ask. The first is to lay down a base layer of one color, and then to put the second layer over it. It's best to put the second layer on using the "Windex Method". Instead of me re-typing how to put on monokote with windex I'll put this link up. This is an excellent "how-to" on doing it with windex, [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_603331/anchors_603331/mpage_1/key_flag/anchor/tm.htm#603331]Applying monokote graphics with windex.[/link]

The second way is to actually join your two color pieces before you put them on the plane. Get a mirror or a sheet of glass to use to join your pieces. Lay down the first piece on the glass and then position the second piece overlapping the first (about 1/4" overlap) and then use a covering iron to seal the two pieces together. Then you can apply those to the plane as you normally would put monokote on.

Hope this helps
