I much prefer ultracote to monokote but when it come to transparents even more so.

Transparent monokote shrinks very poorly and burns easy. I recently covered a plane with both transparent monokote and ultracote. I found the ultracote much easier to work with. The top of the ailerons are ultracote and the bottom monokote. The top is smooth and wrinkle free and went on easy. With the bottom I could never get all the wrinkles out and spent about twice as much time on it.

I actually prefer the look of monokote but its a lot harder to work with and as far as transparents I will never buy another role of monokote.
