I saw Larry Driskill's laminating film post (nice painting technique, BTW) and did not want to hijack that thread because I have a very basic question re: laminating film thickness.
The film is readily available in 1.3 to 5 mill thickness. Does anyone have a guide to which thickness is appropriate for what application? I am asking here in the 'little plane' forum because you guys should have a better handle on the light end of the spectrum.
Just a basic rule of thumb for say, 1/2A, .10-15, 40 Sport, 60 sport, gliders, etc.
I have never used this film but have lots of experience with the older film offerings for modelers (Monocote, Solarfilm, etc.)
Thanks for any info you can share.

PS: I have been building and flying for 45 years. Built my own radio stuff 'back in the day' (I mean built the radios too, not just the planes
). Just now returning to the hobby after a 18 year layoff to introduce my grandson to model plane building and flying.
