Default Need advise for coating

I have gotten a 4*40 that I'm going to be building. (haven't started yet) The building part should be fairly simple but putting on the Monocote or Ultracote or whatever seems to be an unknown. I have tried to put some on my Avistar for different repairs and it always seems to look wrinkled and sloppy. I was wondering if there are any good web sites out there with some tips on how to work with the stuff. TIA

Rob I would use Ultracote for my first cover job. It is a little easier to work with. And read the instructions you get with the covering. There is a lot of good info there on how to apply it. Good luck with it.
