Sealing Monokote Edges
« on: November 18, 2010, 12:24:34 PM »
What is the best method of sealing the edges on the plastic Monokote clones as supplied on the various ARF's. On the scratch covering jobs, I use StixIt from Sig. That seems to help.

With small paint brush I have used:
Min wax oil based polyurethane fuel proof to 15% or so.

Pactra polyurethane of same or close color brushed into seam and then wipe excess off with rag.
Same with Top Flight Monokote paints.
With the spray can stuff I just spray some into a container then use the brush.


Sometimes thin super glue will wick down the seem, sometimes makes a mess. Must be brave. HB~> HB~>

Sig Stix it sometimes works sometimes not.
Still trying to figure out best way to use it.

The coverite brand stuff seemed to work better than the Sig.
