I just did a plane with 2 rolls of white, one roll each of red, yellow, 
and purple Monokote, and had no issues.  I was a little worried because 
the white had a slight fisheye effect, but was not like sandpaper, and 
the backing stuck like it normally does.  All of it went on just fine, 
sticking and shrinking normally.

Dave,
 
It is not just the white color, it is the dark red and the black colors
as well. The good M/C used to have a very smooth coloured side.
Now, if you get a bad roll, it almost feels like very fine sand paper
and has a very dry feeling to it. The clear backing just falls off,
you don't even have to pull it off. It has a almost looking like a
fisheye effect to it. It will not adhere as good and will not stay
smooth and the whole finish will turn into sags and bubbles
after a short time. I just took 4 rolls back to my LHS. Guess we
will have to change to Ultrcote.

The last 2-3 years I have had trouble shrinking monokote,waxed or 
unwaxed.  Especially the white.

Speaking of wax, has anyone tried reshrinking Monokote after it has 
been waxed? Did you have trouble doing it?

I've gotten good results with a mix of 40% rubbing alcohol, 60% tap 
water,
applied via spray bottle. What really helps, is a coat of automotive
"spray and wipe" wax, once or twice a year. Makes the painted and 
covered
surfaces much easier to clean.
