HOW DO YOU GET WRINKLES OUT OF MONOKOTE? I know this may be the wrong forum for this question but it's the best one to get answers from as the other forums don't have as many readers. And I am a beginner with Monokote so it is a beginner's thread so I hope it's OK here.

I really like the Ultracote coverings but should I attempt Monokote again? I want something that has more color choices. I now believe that the reason I couldn't get the wrinkles out of Monokote was I never used a heatgun. After reading RCKen's LT-40 build thread I now use the heatgun all the time, and I am impressed at how rapidly the wrinkles come out. Just gotta watch the edges as they shrink in very easily. Will Monokote shrink the wrinkles out as easily as Ultracote? I have noticed how much different the feel in the two are - Monokote feels more crinkly to me and feels more plastic and dry. Is that why the wrinkles come out harder?

I have heard from other more experienced members here at RCU that they have a hard time getting wrinkles out of Monokote because the manufacturing of it has changed throughout the years and some even say it is thicker than it was before. Is there any truth to this?

I want to hear all the advantages, disadvantages, opinions, hints, suggestions, advice and thoughts on Monokote. Should I attempt it again? Or will it still be hard getting wrinkles out even with the heatgun? Although I want more color choices, if I will still have a difficult time applying it I don't want most of the rolls ending up in the trash.

And share some pics of Monokote-covered planes. Let's see'em.
