Monokote help required

[Peter Pennisi]

Thanks for all the tips.

 

I will try and lightly sand the surface with 320 sandpaper and give it
another go. 

 

For does that asked, yes the backing paper was removed.

 

Thanks

 

Peter

 I have had this problem with monocote also. I have found the perfect
solution and it's just 1 word. Ultracote!!!!

 Seriously I find it so much easier to work with. Also it's slightly heavier
but the difference is less than 10%.

 Lately I've discovered something cool. Monocote is very easy to use over
Ultacote. I apply it without using any heat but by applying a homemade
concoction to the glue side of the monocote. I then apply it to the base
surface and squeegy out the liquid. Allow it to dry overnight and seal the
edges the next day with strips of ultracote with low heat. This only works
on fairly flat surfaces. No bubbles. Mike

Hi All,

 

I know this subject has been discussed many times.

 

I am currently having some big issues using Monokote  primarily white.
Question is can this material go off. I cannot seem to get it to stick
properly. If I try to use more heat it will start to bubble. Less heat does
nothing. 

 

My preparation (regarded by my flying buddies is excellent) the wing is one
piece and was wiped down with mentholated spirits to get any loose grain to
lift.  I have final sanded the wing with 1200, Timber is shinny. 

An air compressor with water reservoir was used to blow clean the wing. I
then vacuumed the wing. I then used a tack cloth to remove final traces of
dust and finally I wiped the wing down with a paper towel with a small
amount of acetone to clean the timber prior to covering.

 

Mates are using other products more successfully with less fuss. Is it me or
is Monokote over-rated. Help needed please.

 

Regards,

 

Peter
