Master Your FinishAdvanced heat shrink covering technology
Transform your balsa wood build with the UltraCote ParkLite - Silver covering film, designed for precise thermal control and effortless application. Operating at an adhesive activation temperature of 200°F, the film securely bonds to your frame without premature shrinking or surface distortion. Increasing temperature to the 280°F shrink onset point eliminates wrinkles, reaching maximum shrinkage at 350°F for a drum-tight finish. Perfect for custom RC plane builds, this non-foam covering delivers exceptional durability and high visibility in the sky.
