Glad to hear that monokote is 'back to normal'. I have encountered what I not so affectionately refer to as 'crappykote'. The 2 major problems seem to be: 1) the pigment/adhesive layer delaminates from the mylar making it very difficult to get the monokote to stick to anything; 2) the amount of pigment present is inadequate and results in more of a translucent finish than an opaque finish. I have only encountered this problem with white monokote, but maybe I've just been lucky. I will try some new monokote this winter - from Tower; so there shouldn't be any issue with 'old' stock.
Are monokote and ultracote compatible? I guess the real issue would be application temperature and I've never used UC. Just curious (just in case...)
