Isn't this Brodak-kote and not Monokote so I suspect the above will not work as well.

Hi Paul,
Which ones do you think will not work well on Brodak-kote, and why?
#1, 2, and 4 will work well on ALL film coverings with no problems.
#3 works perfectly on Monokote and being a very strong solvent my guess it will react with the glues from all coverings, but I have not used it with anything except Monokote and Ultrakote.
Brodak ARFs are covered with film from China. This film has improved over the past few years and is now much better. For wet power users I still think it is prudent to seal the seams that are in hot oils way and on the wing LE and Stab LE.
Brodak's film covering (ordered from Brodak) is very good, and I think it is different from the film on the CL ARFs. I have used it and found it to behave much like Ultracoat.
The glues used on the different film products are NOT the same. That is why I gave several suggestions to seal the seams on film.
You can use the excellent "Windex" method to put Monokote over Monokote or Monokote over Ultracoat or Monokote over any film ..... but you can not use it to put Ultracoat over anything. This is why I did not suggest using this method to seal the edges on the CL ARFs from China.
Many of the RC ARFs from China use actual Monokote or Ultracoat, but to my knowledge non of the CL ARFs use them yet. But our CL coverings are getting better. :-)
I'm always interested in learning more about film coverings, so I would be interested in hearing your explanation as to why my suggestions will not work well with Brodak-kote. Please share your solution with us, this important problem could use all the ideas that are out there. TIA :-)
