monocoat

Recommended Posts

I found that my refine cuts monocoat very well.  I have to experiment on how to apply it now.

Monocoat is a heat shrink vinyl type material that is used to coat balsa wood rc aircraft and rockets and I guess a lot of other things.My little brother builds rockets and uses it to decorate his rockets (Coogan Aerospace).It's a heat applied material.They have these little irons you buy to apply with.It would probably be a good venture if you had an rc club or a lot of rc hobbiests in your area.I'll have to get my brother to let me cut a design to apply to one of his rockets and see how it works.

Theres a few companies that make that type of material.

I build model r/c airplanes with this stuff.

Theirs Monokote and Ultracote and one other one I cant think of at the moment.

It starts to shrink at or around 275deg making a tight skin on the airframe.

Just like vinyl rolls, monokote comes in different colors patterns, but I wouldn't recomend it for anything other than model stuff.

Really not all that durable for the regular consumer stuff.
