[NSRCA-discussion] Cleaners

[Dave Smith]

Hi Karl:  I switched to Ultracote a year ago,after experiencing the same symptons you describe.
I started a thread on RCU last year about it,and there were a lot of dis satified users.
I think the thread is called: whats up with monokote.  A picture The Beav took of his red mono is on there.

I did a Brio in Ultracote last year,and a Black Magic this year.

  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.
