Default Coverite Fabric

It's good to hear that Coverite is still available but I'm suffering sticker shock. Think the last I bought was around $30 for a 15' roll! Thanks Luvbipes for the "heads-up" on Tower's sale.
As an aside, some years ago I furnished information that was the basis for an article in RCM on covering large models with Coverite, then using MonoKote to finish in lieu of primer/paint. Worth consideration in those applications where MonoKote alone is a little thin and/or the builder wants to stripe an open bay structure. Biggest benefit is no paint odor during winter building. Granted, the technique is a little heavier than a well done paint job, but most large planes will handle the additional wing loading a barely notice the added ounces. Have used the same method with Koverall, works equally well. Just some info that some may find helpful.
