[NSRCA-discussion] New Monokote - Was Monokote on Monokote

[Pete Cosky]

New Monokote - Was Monokote on MonokoteLet me start this by saying that my covering skills are average if I try REAL hard. 

I had the misfortune of getting bad rolls of monocote a couple years ago. It was almost like working with aluminum foil. I was covering a 24% Extra and pulled it all off to do it again. It wouldn't stick well, looked like sand was under it and it wouldn't work around  curves. 

The funny thing was other rolls of the same colors I bought at the same shop at about the same time were OK.

  Similar experience here...just finishing up a Carden Cap 232 (yes, for those who know me...it's Black/Yellow/White and Silver...just shut up already.  I'm red/green colorblind!)  I have used both 25' and 6' rolls of those colors all bought recently with no difference from the older rolls I had that were several years old.  All went on with the same iron settings (I use different irons that I never change) and all seem to have the same basic "feel" for working around shapes.  I keep hearing about the new formula, but have yet to experience it.

    For those of you scared of the "new" Monokote, I just did my Black Magic wings and tail with it, from fresh stock I picked up at the local hobby shop.  I had no problems with any of it, and I used two rolls of white, and a roll each of missile red, purple, and yellow.  Went on just like any Monokote I've ever used, at normal temperatures.  I discussed the bad stuff with the owner who is pretty straight with me, and he said he hadn't had any complaints over the last year or two at all.  Maybe the problem is over?
     
    FWIW.
