What kinda discussion would that be : Nothing to discuss - everyone knows the answer - Chevy & Futaba

Seriously, has anyone used the newer Sig covering product? My problem is that no single covering completely satisfies me. I like many of the Monokote properties, but if its not applied tight, you have a heck of a job tightening it. Also it’s not quite as easy to work around compound curves. On the plus side its very forgiving with high heat and it is very strong. A while back I asked this question, but got no response - at home, I had a role of covering that I might have purchased in Europe, when I was living there. Unfortunately, I don't have a product name. The stuff was great! Very easy to work with and excellent shrink properties. The covering was much more "rubbery" than anything else I’ve used. This property made it very easy to cover compound curves. I wish I knew the name It may have been a Graupner product. Thoughts?
