RE: Monokote?
Hi Jon,
Yes, there are still bad batches of Monocote out there. I got some just
before Christmas from my local LHS and all 4 rolls were the bad stuff,
especially the dark red and black colors. On one roll of the dark red
color there were areas were no coloring was applied at all. You could
see straight through it. Some of the other rolls have that "fish-eye"
effect which will not disappear after applying it to a fully sheeted surface.
The backing does not stick to the actual film like it used to. You used to
have to peel it off, now it just falls of by itself. What coloring has been
applied to the back of the film feels very rough and dry. No matter how
much heat you apply, it will not stick properly and give you a very bad
looking finnish. Not worth the time spent to apply it. I guess we'll have
to look for an alternative.
