They have changed Monokote. I found a roll that was about 6 - 7 years old. That roll adhered extremely well and shrank properly. I TRIED to finish the job with some of the new Monokote. The new Monokote did not adhere as well and shrank very poorly. I had to have the heat cranked up so high I thought I was going to blow a hole in it. I should have stayed with Ultracote - it would have been less aggravation.

I strongly suggest using Ultracote for film coverings and SolarTex for your fabric coverings. They go on with lower heat, have excellent adhesive and the colors stay the same from batch to batch. In addition, unless you get your paint color matched, Ultracote paints are substantially closer to the film covering than Lustercote is (and Ultracote paints DON'T SPIT ).
