Default RE: Monokote repair help


ORIGINAL: hattend

It is fuel resistant not fuel proof.

Took this from the tech notes on Tower's website. They do advertise it to be fuel proof.
NOTES FROM OUR TECH DEPARTMENT
EconoKote is a patented, flexible high-gloss polyester film that is inexpensive
easy, clean, and (when compared to "old fashioned" coverings) quick to use.

FEATURES:
Super strong with a tensile strength of 25,000 psi (pounds/sq in)
Lightweight at only 0.2 oz/sq ft
Dry adhesive activates when heat is applied
Shrinks to a drum-tight finish as it cools
High gloss finish
Fuelproof and waterproof
Stronger and lighter than traditional silk and dope coverings
May be cleaned with glass cleaner, "409", or MonoKote Cleaner/Polish
The problem is they advertise it to be fuelproof and it isn't
