Default A VERY GOOD TIP YOU CAN USE !!!

Hello all,

After removing monokote from the airframe, you may end up with some adhesive or tags of covering behind. A super fast way to remove this is to use ULTRACOTE (not MK) and iron a section over the area. Then peel off this layer right after. You will end up with a fresh CLEAN area that are ready to go. This beats the old fashion way of trying to pick these off with Xacto blades. DP

Kind of expensive to use pricy Ultracote, but this gives a reason to save any scraps in a box for future "striping".

Just rub with Acetone on a rag and it all comes clean. Cheap and easy.

And the acetone will "dry" the wood removing most oils that may have gotten under the covering.
