Hangar 9 UltraCote True Red

Hangar 9's UltraCote is a lightweight, high tech polyester covering that is fuel and water proof. It features a unique multi temperature-controlled adhesive and shrinkage system, making it versatile and easy to apply. The patented polymerizing process permanently fuses the color to the polyester film covering, eliminating the possibilities of color-layer separation and permits repositioning of the covering on your model.

UltraCote's unique ability to both shrink and stretch make it superior to other coverings for going around tight curves and wingtips. Adhesion to wood begins at 200 to 220 degrees F, with shrinkage onset at 300 degrees F and maximum shrinkage at 350 degrees F.

In order for the covering to properly adhere to a surface, the surface must first be smooth and clean. Sand the model using a sanding block and progressively finer sandpaper, with the final sanding being done with 320 grit paper. Vacuum away all of the dust, as specks of dust under the covering will leave unsightly bumps. Fill gaps and dents with a high-quality filler. If using light-colored UltraCote (such as white or yellow), use a tan-colored filler that matches the wood color to prevent the filler from showing through. Some professional builders 'raise the grain' then sand a second time with 320 or 400 grit paper for the ultimate finish. After the model is sanded, use a damp cloth to wipe down the model.

In conclusion, Hangar 9's UltraCote is a high-quality, lightweight covering that is fuel and water proof, making it a versatile and durable option for model airplanes. Its unique multi temperature-controlled adhesive and shrinkage system, along with its patented polymerizing process, sets it apart from other coverings and ensures a professional and long-lasting result.
