[rcsmithsam99]

Whats the name of this stuff u use to cover the plane..

thanks

[NeCubFlyer]

EconoKote by Top Flite

[huntish]

what temp do you need the iron at

[NeCubFlyer]

There is no actual set temp. Start at the lowest temp and work your way up. You'll need to experiment to find what works best for you.

[tydek07]

Wouldn't a heat gun work better? Could heat it up and use your hands (or anything flat) to push the material down and work the wrinkles out.

[Doamino41]

Can you put film on it if its already painted with acrylic paint?

[heberorozco]
