Default RE: Monokote Blues

I've tried just about everything. Sometimes Monokote works great. I had especially good luck with sapphire blue and bright yellow on my Great Planes Rapture. The only complaint I had was color bleeding at the edges, getting on my iron sock and transfering to the other color. The aluminum Monokote that I used on my Herr 1/2A Mustang was horrible. I stretched it tight before shrinking and it intially shrunk nice; 2 days later it was wrinkled. I've used some Sig Aerokote Light; I liked the strong adhesive. I only used cub yellow though, not sure about the other colors. I'm going to recover my Somthin' Extra with Ultracoat, we'll see how it goes. I've used Ultracoat for repairs in the past and just the ability to peel the backing off was enough to make me want to try a large project with it.
