Using laminating Film as a covering method


Recommended Posts

Posted by Geoff N.
New stuff is self adhesive laminating film . It does not shrink but also does not stretch .Apply with hot iron. I have coverd my Wild Thing with it . Smooth and rigid No Cross weave tape . New stuff 250 micron directly on to EPP no filler or spray on adhesive.
see for starters the following RCMF threads

I asked about this stuff ( laminating film )  in another thread, and wanted to learn a bit more about its use. Turns out that one of our club members uses it, so I may well pick up some ideas from him, but interested to know others views and experiences.
Lets start with some basics.
1) Where is it used - and why ??
2) What are the benefits over say... CW tape - (  rigidity I guess? )
3) What are the disadvantages?
4) Where do you get it?
5) Why is not more common?
