Default RE: Current status of Monokote

Bax,

Appreciate the response. I need to be a little more specific in nature. In your response you stated and I quote:

!QUOT!As processes change to comply with EPA and CPSC regulations, formulations have changed. We have been continually-testing the product for performance. Current-production Monokote is as good as Monokote has ever been.!QUOT!

Should I assume then the symptom seen in the attached pic is a non issue now. This granular appearance caused by uneven application of the adhesive to the back of the Monokote is what I am trying to avoid. The rolls of Monokote that exhibit this trait have speckles, fish eyes of glue that do not go away when applied. The underside of the wing of the plane in my original post has good and bad Monokote on the same prepared sheeted surface. The bad Monokote exhibits the same trait as in the attached pic.

I have four different rolls of black Monokote with this glue issue. Two of these rolls were sent to me by you after our 2005 conservation regarding this issue which you kindly exchanged. Is there a way to identify this trait by a batch number, date code for example when I visit my local retailer? If I were to order from Tower and discover this trait after opening the roll and examining can the rolls be returned and exchanged at no cost me?
