ULTRACOTE COVERING AND CARE
Humidity and temperature changes can cause the Ultracote covering to wrinkle during
shipment and exposure to the sun at the flying field. This is normal and can be easily
remedied.
Wrinkles can be removed by using a heat gun and sealing iron. (with iron sock). When
shrinking the Ultracote do small sections at a time. Once the Ultracote is heated and shrunk,
rub the heated area with a soft cotton glove or cloth while cooling. This will cause the
Ultracote adhesive to bond both to the wood and Ultracote.
Be careful not to over heat the sections when different colors meet (seam) it can cause the
seams to become wavy and unsightly. Make sure that all seams are sealed tightly.
It may be necessary to repeat this procedure one or two more times until the wood and
Ultracote have settled in to the humidity and temperature conditions in your area.
