Notice that those with little reshrinking to do are folks that live in arid parts of the country. Those of us that must tolerate high humidity are the ones that have to reshrink on a regular basis.

I agree, the older Monokote, if applied properly, would stay put most of the time, even in high humidity situations. Unfortunately, I've never had the necessary hand strength to apply it "properly". Believe me, it takes some very strong hands to do it properly. By properly I mean stretching it on the model physically so tight that you need very little heat and very little shrinking to make it taught. George Asteris has gorilla hands (high George!) and he is one of the best Monokoters I've met.
