Is there anything I can do to seal a Monocote finish so that it doesn't peel over time? Both of my planes are peeling like crazy and everybody else's planes at the field aren't peeling at all! There must be something I'm missing here! I clean the planes off with Windex every time I fly and it still peels. Is there something that I can put on the plane to seal the Monocote so it won't peel? Would a spray on clear coat work?
As I do very little monokoting and I don't like the stuff, I give no advice. However there used to be a very excellent monokoter in my club who was an early devotee of the early IMAC style of models which he BUILT.
He did monokote. He always went over all seams with a small artist's brush using Aero Gloss dope. He never had a problem and he flew like he FLEW many times a week. I asked about other dopes, but he said that Aero Gloss worked better than true aircraft dope. His models exhibited proof that something was right.
