Since personal skills and time are subjective factors, more than reading how good some of you are in using Monokote, I think that it would be interesting to learn from you what are the signıficant differences between Monokote and the other most common covering film brands.
We know what magazines say... that is just commercial.
Meanwhile here we are a community and our findings, based on years of actual experience, are worth more than a thousand Model Airplane News issues or whatsoever.
To me Monokote is not elastic enough, in fact on the lower side of the wings it easily cracks or cuts. When used on solid surfaces tends to trap air bubbles. For these kind of jobs I use Oracover, way much better thus more expensive.
I use Solarspan, which is more economic, to cover sharp contours; on very recessed areas it is my favorite.
Monokote is the most resistant to gas and glow fuel.
