I agree with most of the above....everytime I used BalsaRite, I wished I hadn't. For the most part, I use nothing, for either Monokote or Ultracote.

But....I will let you in on a helpful hint. Buy a tube of Sigment, the old-fashioned model airplane cement. No other brand. Apply a bead about the size of 1/16" music wire around the edge of your firewall, wheel wells, wing saddles, or other "hard use" places. Smooth it in while it is wet. Let it dry--a couple of minutes, or hours, makes no difference. It will grip the covering without all the bubbles, etc. of BalsaRite, and you will tear the covering before you will get it loose.

You can test this on a piece of 3" wide sheet. Make several Sigment passes across the sheet, marking where they are with a pen. Then iron on some strips that cross untouched wood as well as these places. Let the covering cool a few minutes, then start peeling the covering off. You will see the difference.

Try it--you'll like it!
