What is MonoKote?
An alternate sealer that is tough, thin and light weight. As a surface film it does not fill the Dacron weave to impair rip-stop qualities. It is an iron on film that is available in about 50 brilliant colors including clear. This is sold, a little pricey, in hobby stores for covering RC model airplanes. If it is not mylar as they say then it must be a close relative. The heat shrinking ability is limited so must be applied in lengthwise strips (2 planks). The overlap joints are hard to feel and almost invisible. The one weakness is that it has poor UV resistance so the boat should be stored in the barn when not in use. You can locate a dealer near you by visiting the MonoKote website. Look for the “Where to buy” link at the bottom of their page: http://www.monokote.
