Melting Ultracoat for paint help

[Jeff Hughes]

I read one time that the color is in the adhesive in Monokote and in 
the mylar in Ultracote. So what works for one, won't work for the 
other.


> It won't melt the mylar, but it should dissolve the paint off of the 
mylar.  I'm pretty sure I've used Acetone on Ultacoat for that 
purpose...cut it up small and stir it up.
