Ive used econokote on my combat planes great success, and no harm will be done to the foam itself. However with most heatshrink films is that its not all that durable, and by the most part combat is not a gentle sport. I now use good ol' 3m-77 and rip stop nylon. Heavier, but strong as nails.
In a thread about a screwed up Avenger wing I asked about super 77 and ripstop and/or tyvek, I was told that there is a problem of the ripstop lifting and creating a bubble on wet mornings and with weather changes. I asked if the coated (non breathing type) of ripstop would be better, but got no answer. I have done limited testing with tyvek, super 77 and 3M hi-strenght 90 and was able to get it to stick as well as BiDi (they both pulled off a thin layer of foam).
Any more input would be apprectated. thanks
