Yes, I admit guilt to that ken
. I will not be giving up on Monokote entirely, just not ready to use on a kit yet. I have the old Eaglet 50 wing I will be practicing on now and again. I really do want to start using Monokote as they have a great selection of colors and different styles of colors and it looks great when done properly. I do not want to give up on it, just need more patience.

Tigerdude,
Chances are that you're getting in a hurry and trying to move too fast. If the edges pulled away when you were trying to shrink the rest of the covering then you didn't get them adhered good enough. As I said in my LT-40 build thread, covering with Monokote isn't hard to do at all, it just takes time to do properly. 9 times out of 10 people that wind up with poor results are just getting in a hurry and don't want to take the time to do it properly.
