I have used both.....
I have come to this conclusion.........

If you are a novice shrink covering applier.... Go with the easiest to apply....and look good, use H9 Ultracote.....

If you know what you are doing and have had experience with both.... GO with Monokote.....

Monokote is much more durable if applied correctly....
Is really easy to apply multi-layer colors when you use trim solvent..............goes on easy and stays on forever...........

I have strugled with monokote at times, but I have found the shrinkability of Ultracote to a weekness at times......
Especially with the NEW-lightweight-building tech's of the aerobatic planes out today....
WIth soooo many lightening holes in them,joining seems around them can be a real mess.....

The adheasionability of Monokote is awsome..and that is what really counts
when you don't want oil soaking in corners of exsposed wood because the Ultracote has pulled off.

If Monokote is to be pulled OFF a plane, it is a NIGHMARE..... Easpecially if it was applied with too much heat.....
The color separates from the clear plastic.....and a long lengthy process ensouses.....

Again neither are perfect..... But if you want easy.... and look good....GO with Ultracote.....
If you want look the best and logevity.... go with Monokote.....
The reward is worth it...but the learning curve is a a bear!!!
