GONZO Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Don't forget to get the backing film off before use. It can be hard to see that its there, unlike some other films, but it is there. Take a corner, put a piece of sticky tape each side and pull apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete B Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 It's the same stuff as was sold by Giantshark - see the comments on this thread Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle 899 Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Good quality, finished covering third model with it today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Roberts 9 Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have found the HK covering to be good quality and very economically priced. The only small downside to the HK product is that the colour is in the adhesive rather than in the film itself and if you ever have to remove it (say for a repair) there is a tendency for some of the coloured adhesive to stay on the model. If cost were to be irrelevant I would probably opt for Oracover instead because I find it *slightly* easier to work with but, per metre, Oracover is 4 or 5 times the price of the HK stuff. As others have said, the HK stuff is very popular and sells out quickly. I only buy if it is 'in stock' because HK backorders can take weeks.

Martyn K Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 If you cant get HK film then try this, I find it be very good. I think that it is much better than Solarfilm, comparable to WM Lite-Tex Martyn Edited By Martyn K on 24/07/2015 15:08:14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Back - Rclife.co.uk Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I have some very limited stock white/blue/red with more arriving in about 2 weeks, which is the same as the HK and old cod/shark stock. Not sure if im allowed to post I have some so please delete if not appropriate admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
