Title: Brodak Kolar Kote
Post by: Kim Mortimore on July 02, 2013, 01:39:25 AM: I did a search, and what little I found was old info. Has anybody tried this covering, and if so, what do you think? A friend of mine is interested in using it on a stunt trainer (or series of trainers) due to the low price. I'm wondering if it's in their clearance section due to quality issues. Thanks.

Post by: Allen Eshleman on July 04, 2013, 07:15:54 AM: I have recently used it to cover an Akromaster. I really liked the gray and the red. However, don't let the heat get too high, it will turn brittle. Also, I had trouble with my heat dryer gun on high. Just some real careful swipes.

Is that typical of all coverings? I haven't used ultracote yet but have some for a Vector, which I don't have time to build.

I did have problems with the transparent purple. It didn't have much "sticky". I used some by sandwiching it between layers of the other colors and it worked up nice. I probably won't try to use the rest of the roll.

But I would buy the solid colors mentioned in a stitch, especially at two for the price of one.
