Overview
Top Flite brand MonoKote's superior shrink and adhesion make it an extremely easy plastic covering to apply. And once applied, its special adhesive gets a grip that not even years of accumulated exhaust residue can break. MonoKote is also one of the most puncture and scratch-resistant films on the market - qualities you'll find in all of the rich, vibrant colors available.
MonoKote is a thin, clear, protective film with a pigmented, heat-activated adhesive on the back specially formulated for model airplanes. MonoKote is applied with a sealing iron. Heat from the iron shrinks the film while simultaneously activating the adhesive tightly bonding it to your model. When MonoKote is not heated, the adhesive is not sticky. The adhesive side has a clear, protective backing that must be removed before application.

Note:Â MonoKote is best-suited for medium-size models in the 2 lb. (1000g) range and up. Smaller/lighter models may be more suitable for MonoKote's lighter, low-heat/low-shrink cousin EconoKote (though EconoKote may be used on larger models, too).
