When applying Micafilm or FibaFilm use SIG StixIt. NOT Balsarite. I believe Balsarite has been reformulated sometime in the past 10 years, and now will turn brown within a year of application, so I have used SIG StixIt for the past 6 years and haven't have any issues with it.

RE: FibaFilm?
Thanks for the info!
A couple years ago, I covered my Senior Telemaster with clear Micafilm - the last I had. Since then, my plane has taken on a rather unwelcome "aged" look, i.e., there are many areas of brown, just like you said. Now I know that there is a Balsarite issue, I at least feel a bit better.
My other favorite covering is 21st Century fabric. but I just bought some more, and was absolutely astounded at the price, so I guess I will move away from that, from now on. As well, their Red has some major production/quality problems - I have sent back several rolls over the years, due to blotches, and other quality control issues.
