Thats what most run into with buying just 6' rolls. Save yourself a little headache, and splurge on the 25' roll. It is countless as to how many 25' rolls I have used up over the years in using MonoKote.

Over the years, I have always bought the large rolls .... Monokote, Ultracote or Solartex. But on my last project, I bought a large roll and it was the nasty Monokote that would not shrink or stick to itself. I gambled and bought several 6' rolls that worked great except for the scratch problem. I was short material though and later had to buy (2) more rolls that were slightly off color though I was able to deal with that by selective placement of the covering on wing bottoms, etc. You can return anything to Tower so the 25' roll went back. I hope that one day they get the Monokote issues resolved and we have a consistent product once again.
