I will say this about Monokote... I've been using it for close to 25 years now and it always seems to work with a little practice. I still get great results, although it seems I need to vary the application procedure with each new project. Not sure why. My only complaint is the matching Lustrekote spray paint doesn't always match. I had a recent problem with the Lustrekote matching the Monokote and when I brought this to the manufacturers attention( Hobbico?), they sent me new cans of paint and primer at no charge that they "hand picked" and all is well now. I still like Monokote and will continue to use it.[8D]
