Monokote weight
 
Did Monokote double in weight in the last couple of years,
or are certain opaque colors heavier than others?
Seems alot heavier than the stuff I bought a few years ago, and heavier than Coverite film or fabric.

Monokote weight
 
I haven't noticed that it is heavier, but it doesn't stick or shrink like it used to. The new stuff is garbage to put on. I have about 30 of the old rolls left. I hate it when I have to order a new roll of a color to compliment something I am covering. Seems like it doesn't stick well any more.

Is it possible the stuff you had before was Towerkote or Econokote, both thinner materials made for light weight airplanes?

There are usually quite large differences in weight depending on color. At least using Ultracote=Oracover it is.

Does anyone have a similar list for Monokote?
