TOP-FLIGHT MONOKOTE COVERING OVERVIEW Introducing the Top Flite TOPQ0203 - a 6-foot roll of Yellow MonoKote covering designed specifically for radio-controlled airplanes. MonoKote stands out due to its superior shrinkage and adhesion properties, ensuring an effortless application process. Once in place, its unique adhesive bonds securely, remaining intact even against years of exhaust residue. REMARKABLE DURABILITY & RESISTANCE MonoKote is a thin, flexible film with heat-activated adhesive that provides exceptional protection for model airplanes. When applied with a sealing iron, the heat activates the adhesive, shrinking the film snugly around your model. Interestingly, without heat, the adhesive remains non-sticky, allowing for easy manipulation prior to bonding. EASY APPLICATION & MAINTENANCE Applying MonoKote is a breeze, achievable using a heat gun or sealing iron, which delivers professional-quality results. Its pliability enables it to conform seamlessly to complex curves, yielding a smooth, wrinkle-free finish. Additionally, minor damages can be effortlessly repaired; reheating will restore small dents, while routine cleaning is simple with detergent and water or Top Flite MonoKote Cleaner Polish. TEMPERATURE GUIDELINES FOR OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE To ensure proper adhesion and shrinkage, it is essential to adhere to specific temperature ranges: Attach to wood at 215-240°F (102-116°C), partial shrinkage occurs at 230-270°F (110-132°C), and maximum shrinkage can be achieved at temperatures between 270-350°F (132-177°C). Note that MonoKote is ideal for medium-sized models weighing approximately 2 lbs (1000 g) or more, while lighter models may benefit from the lighter version, EconoKote. UNMATCHED SPECIFICATIONS AND FEATURES The Yellow MonoKote offers not just aesthetic appeal but also impressive specifications, including a weight of 0.20 oz/sq ft (0.61 g/sq dm) with a tensile strength of 25,000 psi (1,757 kg/sq cm). Moreover, the covering pattern is solid with an opaque finish. The dimensions measure 26 inches (63.5 cm) in width and extend 6 feet (1.83 m) in length. Experience the unrivaled versatility of Top Flite MonoKote as you enhance your radio-controlled airplane model with a vibrant finish that stands the test of time.
