You can’t help but notice that stunning finish of a RC planes once it lands since it has a glossy and smooth appearance. Covering is important if you are one of those serious hobbyists who want to protect their precious planes. No matter what kind of material and paint you use for your plane, sun’s radiation will slowly but definitely cause it to be deformed in such a way that it makes the appearance of your plane looked so old. There are lots of coverings brands and just choose one if you are interested to apply it on your plane.
Also, each brand has its unique properties and they respond at usually different temperatures. It is typically recommended that you apply the covering on RC plane at approximately 200 °F since its inherent adhesives formula starts to take its effect at this temperature. With the adhesives starts to function, it would secure the covering on the surface more thoroughly so that it wouldn’t easily flake. One thing to note is that let the heat manage the whole covering and don’t apply any pressure as this doesn’t really do any good.
At around 300 °F temperature, it will begin to shrink and this would be the perfect opportunity to smoothen out any air that get trapped in-between and fixing up any wrinkles that happen to form. Be careful though around seams and edge linings since at this temperature, the adhesive power is no longer in effect and it could cause it to pull away.
