<DIV><SPAN class=077025416-17032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I
don't know exactly what your problem is, but your surface preparation may be an
issue. The very finest monokote work I have ever seen is done by an
ex-Pattern type from Long Island by the name of Stuart Chale. He claimed to have
been taught to sand down to #600 sandpaper, and to even burnish the wood with
the back side of the sandpaper in high visibility areas. Shiny is good. He
uses a tack cloth, as well.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=077025416-17032004><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
mentholated spirits may be an issue. You might try to remove cleaning
with methanol. I suspect there is a residue causing your bubbling
problem.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">I am currently having some big
issues using Monokote – primarily white. Question is can this material go off.
I cannot seem to get it to stick properly. If I try to use more heat it will
start to bubble. Less heat does nothing. </SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">My preparation (regarded by my
flying buddies is excellent) the wing is one piece and was wiped down with
mentholated spirits to get any loose grain to lift. I have final sanded
the wing with 1200, Timber is shinny. </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">An air compressor with water
reservoir was used to blow clean the wing. I then vacuumed the wing. I then
used a tack cloth to remove final traces of dust and finally I wiped the wing
down with a paper towel with a small amount of acetone to clean the timber
prior to covering.</SPAN></FONT></P>
