Chapter 2
Preparation for Assembly
Professionals utilizing premium Ultracote covering carefully covered your model. Due to
climate changes during shipping, the models covering may have loosened and/or
winkled. It’s a good habit to go over your model with a covering iron to ensure all joints,
seams, and edges are properly sealed.
Ultracote is a lower temperature film that seals and shrinks at lower temperatures.
Make sure you set your iron on a low temperature initially to get a feel for the correct
temperature setting and adjust accordingly. Higher temperatures will cause your
covering to over shrink and distort. Also, use a sock over your iron to ensure a scratch
free finish.

corners are sealed properly.
Use your iron to ensure the areas where cutouts are needed for your hardware are
located and sealed down, such as servos; tubes, and control horn mounting locations.
